Depth of Identity

About

Curated by the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) curator, Rosie Gordon-Wallace and with financial support from the Green Family Foundation. The Depth of Identity: Art as Memory and Archive offers a strident and compassionate investigation of the ideas and structures of otherness. The Depth of Identity: Art as Memory and Archive, will be presented at a time when Diaspora artists and voices are challenging social justice, celebrating identities, and re-activating and bridging communities post pandemic through contemporary art and scholarship. Globally recognized scholar, Alix Pierre, Ph.D. has designed this collaboration to provide a lens through which communities and community leaders internationally can begin to better understand themselves, their diversities, and their unlimited possibilities. The participating artist will begin a dialogue about the emerging complex creole nature of cities globally. The complexities and diversities represented by The Depth of Identity are emergent, and in many cases, ascendant, across the world. The exhibition will be grouped around themes that encompass identity and creole urban life stories, memory, politics, myth, religion, and culture. Green Family Foundation Founded in 1991 by Steven J.
