Sandra will create a photo-documentary project that will explore the Afro-Latino concept, experience, and artistic/cultural expression of Latinos in North Philadelphia. She will select a group of Latino visual artists, performers, and cultural workers from youth to seniors and create a series of portraits that will represent them and how they define the Afro-Latino concept. Each piece will be accompanied with text extracted from conversations with each of the artists regarding this topic. These portraits will be put on exhibition and open to the general public, community residents, and families of the individuals portrayed in the project. Her goal is to create social awareness and a collective conscience that Latinos and Latinas have a connection to Africa and African culture(s) in the Diaspora.
