The Margin Color

SYNOPSIS

Upon finding a self-portrait of my grandmother Divina, a Black lady who painted herself as white, I embark on a journey of colonial healing and self-reinvention. The narrative unfolds like a stream of consciousness, linking a Eurocentric image, racist laws, audible noises, and memories that materialize during the therapeutic processes I undergo.
