Panamanian artist Giana De Dier explores the representation of the Afro-descendant population through drawings and collages that he builds with information and materials from historical archives, oral histories and family memories, as well as with photos she takes and the appropriation of old photographs. She focuses on representations of women of origin caribbean, putting together imaginary scenarios to commemorate the resilience of the West Indian migrants who arrived in the country for the construction of the canal and to bear witness to their contribution to the shaping of identity panameña.
