Giselle Blanco-Santana (CAS ’16) hangs her paintings at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground for the BU Arts Initiative forum for student art and dialogue, “Race, Identity & Art”. The student exhibit will begin on October 7 at 6 p.m. and will run through October 21. For this set of paintings, Blanco-Santana was inspired by her own experience as a Latino growing up in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. She says she never understood why Mexican and African-American cultures failed to find common grounds although people experienced “mirror situations,” which she illustrated with two girls sitting on opposite sides of a fence in the same poor neighborhood.
