Artist Statement:
Part of the project, “Uncheck," "Visual ID" is a research initiative which invites viewers and participants to start conversations around race and ethnicity through the medium of clothes and textiles. "Visual ID" is an experimental collection of custom printed garments created through the process of an algorithm fed by information extracted from a survey exploring identity.
Laura and Sarah are two mixed-race French/Cameroonian women whose testimonies aim to convey that the interpretation of ethnic and racial identity is profoundly impacted by personal experiences, physical surroundings, and cultural upbringing.
