I definitely get this ahah, I’m mixed race myself (Peruvian/American) and throughout my life I’ve assimilated a lot, even though I would love to share and express my heritage openly.

i grew up super assimilated!! my mom too, and her grandfather, especially bc he was native but adopted by white spaniards ;o;

I feel this so much... assimilating and over a ot feeling lost between 2 worlds that clearly belong to you rightfully but you just always outcast. I love this a lot Vin!

thanks nisha ;o; <3

!
I wanted to say the parting of the field was such a hurt and struck a cord in me its like damn your slapped in the middle just looking over. yet your part of it... such an intense mood. I love love your personal pieces not only relate-able but it shows the struggle isnt in a vacuum as I always assumed. real eye opener when you do pieces like this.

and of course!! I look forward to more of your personal work!

oooh that means a lot fuck ;___; i think figuring out how to do my personal pieces is my fave to do with art bc i can get as cryptic as i want but still have people understand it, when theyve known similar things ya kno

this is such an Intense Mood. i'm mixed race too (white and native) and i know next to nothing about my heritage or my history. i love this so much thank you for bringing this picture into the world

aaah ye. im welsh and navajo/native mex myself and its just. Big Moodington when you got little scraps laying around

Very striking and well-executed piece--From the title and image I could immediately guess what this was about, even before reading the description.

thank you ;o;

aaah geez... yea theres so much indigenous groups treated as "used to" exist regardless if they truly are extinct or not... its all part of keeping it wiped up and clean

im glad like, im gettin that feeling across to other mixed audiences, even if our individual backgrounds are all sortsa different ;o;

Mmm, when a family/group moves from one location to another, there is a significant loss of culture/tradition as a result.

It... kinda comes with the territory. Part of the reason why cultural traditions and food can be so important to hold onto. : 3

well thats not really it for me

my mother is navajo, and so is my great grandfather. but he was adopted by white spaniards who erased most, if not all of his family history and culture

its not so much moving away for me, as it is the affects of colonialism and assimilation by whites and the erasure and destruction of me and my mothers native heritage

Oh bugger. Yeah ok, that is a completely different experience. And a LOT more intense.

Damn.

Does remind me of a lot of conquering groups, and how there is the forced erasure of history as a result of it. Just. Horrible really.
