Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? 🤲🏽
Last week, the adult learners in our Administrator program met in person and got to know each other one object at a time.
Inspired by Carmen Lizardo🇩🇴’s The Handprint Project, everyone was asked to bring one small item that fits in the palm of their hands, something that reflects who they are, what they love, and what they carry with them.
One by one, they held their objects and shared their stories. A photo, a keepsake, a small piece of home. Each one a window into a life, a passion, a journey.
Carmen Lizardo is a multidisciplinary artist from the Dominican Republic whose work explores immigration, race, womanhood, and the ways identity transforms across cultures. Her project reminded us that our hands hold our histories, and that community begins when we share them.
If you’re up in the Hudson Valley this month, you can view The Handprint Project at Poughkeepsie Public Library Adriance branch.
