“Mundos Imaginarios Aquí y Allá” (Our Imaginary Worlds Here and There), by Melinda Salazar, Ph. D, Watercolor painting, 30 x 28 inches, from “Migration – A Journey Towards Oneness”
www.greenacre.org > THE ARTS > Migration

The migratory patterns of flora and fauna follow seasonal changes for warmth, food and survival. Humans move in response to forced persecution, violence and conflict, ecological or economic instability. Gender discrimination and inequality impact girls and women differently with increased risk for gender-based exploitation, sex trafficking, abuse and forced labor.

Women’s stories are woven with common yarn of many colors and women’s narratives are painted from similar palette of diverse hues. We live in imaginary worlds, worlds our ancestors left behind and worlds we strive to make meaning of.

Upon arrival in the U.S., our identities become halved and we are divided into parts. We are called hybrids, half-breeds, mixed, and masala. We are blended, exoticized, and intersectionalized. We piece fragments, shards and remnants of memories carried here from there by our abuelas, abuelos, tias, tios, primas y primos. Some of us are acculturated, some of us resist. But we all are storytellers, who like the rocks and minerals, change under pressure from heat and over time, we emerge anew. We re-claim, re-imagine, and be-come a generation of women who transform the very fabric of global society for the peace and prosperity for our children, grandchildren and their children for seven generations....
