“Of Origins and Belonging, Drawn from Atlanta” is an exhibition of drawings by six Atlantans whose art addresses issues related to place, belonging and heritage.
The works are on view at the High Museum of Art. City Lights senior producer Claire Reynolds sat down with one of the featured artists, Jessica Caldas to talk about her installations.
In her work, Caldas draws from personal narratives and complicated stories of the community that surrounds her.
“My practice strives to create spaces for conversation, opportunities for education and awareness, and actions for change around these experiences. I seek to make these hard topics more accessible, while still honest, and without sensationalization. Doing so creates space for empathy, action, and change,” Caldas said.
