How do you celebrate your Hispanidad (being Latina/o) on a daily basis?Janice as a Latina identifies herself first as a Mother.

I always begin my morning with Puertorrican Cofee Cafe Crema. It takes me back to my childhood comute to school and passing the Cafe Crema factory in Caguas Puerto Rico. The aroma of cafe Crema in the air... yum tum! Also the memory of my grandmother giving me my first taste of it with  A LOT of milk. I have been drinking it sense the age of  7, even after we moved to Florida my grandfather would send it to us from PR.

Selfies

How do people choose to represent themselves? Are portraits important?
How do you celebrate your Hispanidad (being Latina/o) on a daily basis?

The Selfie portraits may give way to discuss how we construct or deconstruct our identities sense I am asking the portrayed to initially portray themselves to me via a “selfie.” Portraits primary goal is to signal and individual’s presence and by using the history of portrait painting I can introduce viewers to my process.

My process is self indulgent, a necessary act, to remove myself from the world as I become free in my Latina American experience.
