True NM
2022
In 2022, 11 young artists from the Black/African-American and AAPINH community worked to create a series of art pieces that represent their individual and collective experience with trans-generational trauma as a person of color in New Mexico. This collection of works which we call Outside the Shell showcases the experiences and identity of these young Black/African-American and AAPINH artists. Outside the Shell was conceived from Zora Neale Hurston’s words: “The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell” and Grace Lee Boggs’ notion of love: “Love isn’t about what we did yesterday; it’s about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after.”

In March 2021, 10 young Black and AAPINH artists worked to create a self-portrait that represented their experience as a misrepresented person of color in New Mexico. Together, their work created Tricultiral-MISS, the inaugural True NM project.
