American pop culture has a big influence on how we in the Western society view people who do not belong to mainstream groups. The images are often one-sided and stereotypical, yet pop culture also offers a global stage for resistance and new narratives. Designer Aglaé Jerry Wilson reveals this tension in a colourful installation exploring the diversity of black and mixed-race identities. The installation consists of a map of ceramic tiles in various colours and shades. Each tile represents a different personal experience of who you are, what you look like, where you belong; your identity. Together they show how multifaceted and layered all these diverse identities are, and how difficult they are to capture in a single image. The sound installation adds voices and sounds, making the multitude of experiences audible as well as visible.
