In vivid works across photography, watercolor, installation, and performance, María Magdalena Campos-Pons tackles themes of migration, memory, spiritual connectedness, and motherhood. She entwines interconnected histories of labor with her family story, exploring the global impact of enslavement and indenture of West African and Chinese people in Cuba. In this lecture, get a sweeping introduction to Campos-Pons’s four-decade career, with a special focus on her impact on the arts communities in the Boston region, where she lived for nearly 30 years.
