Adopted

Adopted

adoption, identity, race, hispanic

My broadside addresses the issues and identity struggles that may stem from adoption. My birthparents both identified as Latinx but I was raised by Germanic/caucasian parents in a non-diverse home and town. Growing up it was very difficult for me to reconcile my outer appearance and the cultures I identified with. ADOPTED was meant to invoke the harsh and instantaneous categorization that people perpetuated onto me from an early age, which set me up for years of confliction.
