In this episode, two New York-based artists, Firelei Báez Julia Santos Solomon, explore what it means to create for themselves and for their communities, and how empathy grounds their work while spurring new modes of creativity. Both artists have roots on Hispaniola, and their relationship to tropical landscape and family have profoundly shaped their practices.

4 - Don’t You Recognize Me? Making and Giving Space with Firelei Báez and Julia Santos Solomon

Dominican-American Artist Firelei Báez's new installation in Boston is an enormous, transformed space meant to connect her native Caribbean culture with the port-side city. Using everyday materials she reconstructed a ruined Haitian palace and introduces visitors to symbols to bridge a wide range of cultures. Jeffrey Brown reports.
