International Day of Women of African Descent the ICA

In celebration of July 25th, International Day of Women of African Descent the ICA presents, 'Can I Pass? Women of African descent in conversation.'

The gallery talk will build off of the work of Firelei Baez led by women from Hispaniola, Haitian American artist, city planner and curator, Romy St. Hilaire and Dominican artist and BPS Social Worker, Anne Hernandez. How do we heal? How do we uplift? How do we move forward?

The conversation will be facilitated by Yvette Modestin, Diaspora Coordinator of the founding network of the International Day of Women of African descent. 

This program is brought to you in collaboration with the Red de Mujeres Afrolatinoamericanas, Afrocaribenas y de la Diaspora (RMAAD), Encuentro Diáspora Afro, Violence Transformed, Art in the Antilles and ReRooted Productions.
