IDENTITY

How do we define ourselves, what combination of work, ethnicity, nationality, family and heritage, go into the sum of who we are? The artists in IDENTITY challenge accepted norms of gender, race, education, culture, and place, offering truer expressions of their experience in this world. Featuring potter Diego Romero, photographer Cara Romero, furniture maker Wendy Maruyama, and sculptor Cristina Córdova.

PBS premiere: December 27, 2019
