Brown Palms, Yellow Balms: Reinventing Caregivers of Color

Brown Palms, Yellow Balms: Reinventing Caregivers of Color

Curated by O.M. France Viana The caregiver—she who opens a newborn's eyes and closes the eyes of the dying—remains overwhelmingly female and disproportionately a person of color as sacrificial figures dissolving self for the sake of society. Asian and Asian American women artists, collectives, and brave souls explore themes of caregiving through the lens of AAPI cultural heritage, history, and the socio-political landscape.
