Installation, Printmaking, Mixed Media
My name is Margarita and I struggle to say where I am from. I am from many places, and I have always wanted to belong, to have a place to call home. I am Nova Scotian, however, I have other cultural identities, which interact with each other and make me who I am. I am very interested in the motion of Time, History, Memory, Erasure and Culture. I am attentive to what happens at the intersection of these concepts when applied to cultures and generations crossing. How do immigration and other cultural notions interact with political, social, and cultural infrastructures? How are political movements connected to an individual’s history, which in turn forms a global history? I am interested in the immigration/migration of the individual, transferring it into global motion, which the audience (public) can translate into becoming part of the project visually, emotionally, and conceptually.
