Word Powered: Exploring Free Speech Through Art
National Liberty Museum, Philadelphia
January 7, 2025 - September 8, 2025
This exhibition examines the dynamic relationship between censorship, freedom of expression, and diverse perspectives. Bringing together a range of voices, mediums, and subject matter, the exhibition challenges visitors to reflect on their role in safeguarding our right to free speech, and better understand how language can be manipulated, suppressed, or celebrated.
My work in this show is Construyo-Destruyo. For diaspora and immigrant communities, language often serves as a powerful marker of identity, resilience, and solidarity. In Construyo-Destruyo, I delve into this essential question through the lens of storytelling, exploring its capacity to bridge differences and foster empathy. By amplifying diverse voices, I emphasize the importance of ensuring that all voices are heard, valued, and respected.
