- Change Partner: Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture
- Discipline: Media Arts, Visual Arts
- Social Change / Intent: Cultural Preservation, Racial Justice
Through an audio-photo documentary project, entitled What it means to be Afro-Latino in Philadelphia: Stories from El Barrio, Sandra will explore Afro-Latino identity, race, and racism in Philadelphia. Seeking to fill a void in Afro-Latino representation, the collaborative series will feature seven large-scale black and white digital portraits and accompanying interviews that will describe the struggle to assert Afro-Latino identity and the racial prejudice and conflicts experienced both inside and outside their communities. Yet, these conversations will also express the subject’s resiliency and pride in their African heritage and ancestry. As a supplementary component, Sandra will lead workshops and engage youth in a dialogue about racial/ethic identity, racism, and cultural pride.
