See If She Can Open Her Wings

Creator: Santos Arrué

Archives and records within all marginalized communities are often obsolete. In the quest towards freedom, records are left and histories become oralities. This is my attempt at digging, recovering and resurrecting my family's own archives; I document my loved ones, our lineage, our people, and most importantly our humanity. This is a conversation between the archives.
