UCSB News, The Current, features Harmonia Rosales: Entwined at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum.
'“Rosales creates a new Renaissance visuality that foregrounds Black and Latinx experiences,” said Helen Morales, Argyropoulos Professor of Hellenic studies at UC Santa Barbara, who contributed to the new publication. “Her work draws on the transatlantic slave trade because of which many of the Yorùbá myths almost did not survive." Morales was the lead curator of the AD&A show Harmonia Rosales: Entwined, which MBMA later broadened in scope under the title, Harmonia Rosales: Master Narrative.
