New Year's Eve in Venezuela, The Fourth, The Fifth, my mother and the American Republic

This solo dives into personal inquiries about national identity, nationalism, violence, trauma, politics, immigration, neo-colonialism, privilege, memory, new year’s eve and motherhood. I journey through the political collapse of my home country, and how the political permeates the sacred membrane of family.
