Peruvian Mom and Daughter Tell Stories of Immigration and Womanhood Through Art

reclaimingthelatinatag:

When Mabel Valdiviezo returned to Perú after living as an undocumented immigrant in California for sixteen years, it was art that brought her closer to her mother, Bila Flores. For the first time they will showcase their work in the exhibit Mothers and Daughters in Art: The Prodigal Daughter and the Healing Mother. The exhibit will be running until September 9th at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.

Curated by Indira Urrutia, the exhibit brings to light the multi-generational immigrant stories of Mabel, her mother, and grandmother while raising awareness to Mabel’s documentary film-in-progress Prodigal Daughter. The film will show her reconciliation with her family after the sixteen years of separation.

No offense to Cosette, but why is she the girl in the Les Misérables broadway posters, like she didn’t even do anything in the revolution!?

 The story isn’t about the revolution, it isn’t about the student rebellion. It is about Jean Valjean and his road to redemption, he finds that redemption in loving and nurturing Cosette as his daughter. She’s his key to the right path. That’s why she is the cover photo. She also links all of the storylines together.
