Cultivando raíces con sueños compartidos

"Cultivando raíces con sueños compartidos - Growing roots from shared dreams" offers an intimate glimpse into the nuanced identities of Mexican migrant workers that work on the farms of Interior British Columbia.

AUArts Alum Rocio Graham, BDes '17, Photography shares her own experience of uprooting herself and re-negotiating her identity. Exhibition "Cultivando raíces con sueños compartidos - Growing roots from shared dreams" presents work that is deeply rooted in ritual ceremony, performance, and relationality.

Developing a friendship with Rocio's compatriots becomes an attempt to collectively recreate their sense of community and place. This exploration of the Mexican diaspora is a reclaiming of sorts; seeking a way to rewrite stories of migration using a new visual language – one that emerges from shared roots and shared dreams.

There will be an Artist performance and community event on October 23, 1pm.
