Artist Statement
“The Memory Of Our Skin is a reminder that our histories are not only from our past, but they are lived within ourselves. Our memories are an act of remembering, we can find fragments in vigils, protests, community, art, music, gardening, and the creation of memorials that make space to heal.”
–Pablo Unzueta
