“I love it when I’m wrong. Yes, white people, immigration is about skin color.”<\/em>
\nOpening May 3, 2019, 4-8PM<\/h2>\nThis multimedia installation examines immigration, skin color and colonialism. Laced through a personal narrative, the sculpture, audio and video in the gallery explore discrimination, opportunity and skin color.<\/p>\n
As immigration pushes up from south to north, skin colors go from dark to light.
\nDiscrimination is administered from top to bottom.
\nLight skin oppresses dark skin.
\nNorth to South.
\nThis is historically what we are up against.<\/p>\n
