008: Juana Valdes: In The Fold

^{Sensei Exchange, an exhibition series on the themes of Memory and Identity}

Juana Valdes’ artwork is a multi-disciplinary practice that combines the process of printmaking, photography, sculpture and ceramic. It integrates the social-political discourse within the art object: to analyze relationships between contemporary and historical imagery, their connection to the social, political, and economical dominance of the cultures that produce them, and their impact on cultural memory. She addresses this from a Caribbean diasporic immigrant’s perspective and places it within the current post-racial American politics.
