MINED:REMIND

Site-based work by local NYC artists

Rebecca Fitton

LEIMAY PRESENTING SERIES SUMMER/FALL 2019: OUTSIGHT

‘mind:remind” is a meditative excavation of familial and movement histories brought together in a new home at 174 Suffolk. Over the past year, Fitton has embedded herself in a deep reflection of her Asian identity in relationship to Asian America. In this work she is questioning the history lessons thaught to her in public schools, information shared by her immigrant parents, racial lenses placed upon her communities in the Midwest, South and Northeast, and the language used to define multiracial identities in both the States and her home country of England.
