Slade hopes the paintings in this exhibition tell the stories of these citizens' hard- ships, and highlight the strength and dignity of Colombian activists and community leaders as well as their vulnerability as they work for social justice. Through the power of art, she hopes to initiate a dialogue with the viewer that will encourage others to recognize the interconnectedness of the struggle for racial justice across the globe..
