Lena C. Emery takes part in Group Show ‘IDENTITY’ presented by Whitelies Magazine

Fraught with social, cultural and political connotations, identity is the medium through which we express and adopt signifiers. It’s that funny thing that acts as a connective tissue, joining us as particular individuals to the general or universal. It’s the question “Where are you from?” met with pause, and more pause. There are those who answer with conviction, while there are others who answer differently each time, but all of us speak of identity with our mouths full.
