註釋Around 2010-more than three decades into her career-Linda Vallejo began investigate the vast and varied meanings of the color brown. In several recent series and subseries of artwork, the artist asks crucial questions about Latinx representation and identity: How do race and color define our status in the world? How do they affect our understanding and appreciation of culture? How do images and date shape our attitudes about color? Who owns culture and ideas, and what does it mean to claim or reappropriate culture? Approaching these difficult and often divisive subjects with humor, playfulness, and curiosity, Vallejo invites readers to delve deeply into their identities. Linda Vallejo: Brown Belongings showcases Vallejo's groundbreaking art to encourage exploration of the possibilities and potential of brownness. The essays and artworks collected here examine the ways in which race and identity-as expressed through popular imagery, statistical data, and cultural signifiers-affect our perception and experience of culture. At the same time, they ask how embracing brownness can allow us to resist the assumptions of others and better understand ourselves.
