DESCRIPTION:Art & Identity: Exploring the Shared Stories of Artists Nicole Acosta and René Amado\nFrom left to right:\nRené Amado\, Photography: Courtesy of the Artist\nNicole Acosta\, Photography: Courtesy of the Artist\n\n\n\n\nIn 2024\, the United Way of Racine County awarded RAM its Equity Innovation Fund grant\, which provided the opportunity to showcase the talents of Nicole Acosta and René Amado. Both artists use their work to address cultural identity—often centering a multidisciplinary approach that highlights their perspectives as artists of color and offers a dynamic platform to examine and reframe personal\, social\, and cultural issues. \nJoin RAM and these two local artists as they explore Mexican culture and identity in art at an upcoming Community Briefing at The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread\, 33 East Four Mile Road in Racine\, on Wednesday\, March 26\, 2025\, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Art & Identity: Exploring the Shared Stories of Artists Nicole Acosta and René Amado will delve into key cultural elements\, history\, traditions\, and contemporary issues through a creative perspective. The artists will lead a discussion followed by time for the audience to ask questions and respond to the artists. After the discussion\, stick around for the opportunity to network and foster a stronger and more connected community. \n\n\n\n\nAcosta and Amado’s works were featured in three exhibitions at RAM and RAM’s  Wustum Museum: Nicole Acosta: HOOPS — Behind the Aesthetic Lies the Story\, Low: René Amado\, and RAM Showcase: Storytellers—Narrative Photography from Artists of Color. These exhibitions highlighted powerful narratives regarding the cultural significance of hoop earrings and lowrider vehicles—shedding light on the experiences of marginalized communities and challenging harmful stereotypes and racism. Additionally\, RAM used part of the Equity Innovation Fund grant to acquire a photograph from Acosta’s HOOPS Project for the museum’s permanent collection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but advance registration before March 19\, 2025 is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR FREE ON THE JOHNSON FOUNDATION’S WEBSITE
