La abuela de la madre de la hija

Daniel Lind-Ramos is known for creating artworks rooted in the Afro-Caribbean culture and the cosmologies of his hometown, Loíza. The artist pays tribute to his maternal lineage in this painting, which highlights the idea of matrilineal spiritual transmission through one's own family as sustenance and cultural continuity. Ancestral strength, wisdom, memory, and imagination are the keys learned in the forced mourning of our island lineage founded on the uprooting of a population brought here against their will during the slave trade.
