Good morning. The persistent suppression of dissidents in Venezuela following the US actions highlights that President Trump never prioritized the welfare of the nation’s citizens. The harsh reality faced by many immigrants involves navigating dehumanizing conditions both in their home countries and in exile, often reduced to mere abstractions within a simplistic “discourse” that overlooks the complexity of personal experiences.
Art offers a way to counteract this erasure by emphasizing unique expression. Today, an exhibition showcasing Venezuelan and Cuban artists, alongside a book on Palestinian tatreez, serves as a concrete testament to individual creativity. These works capture the nuances of human expression that transcend geopolitical narratives.
