“Subcultura Curation is proud to announce its gallery residency in Barrio Logan —- we’re beyond excited to introduce our first artist-in-residence, Fedella Lizeth — her photography is tender and raw, a visual poetry of San Diego’s ‘browns and blues’ — resilience, heritage, nostalgia, and movement. This is more than an exhibition — it’s a feeling, a story, and a tribute to the barrios that shape us.”
“browns
and blues”
“angela”
an exhibition named after my mother Angela Maria and dedicated to my Nonna, Fedelina Bruno
and in memory of my Nonno Fabio Vernice.
“angela” is a love story of 1/2 of my motherlands, Italia — where I found my grandmother’s childhood home in Modugno, Bari, Italy, and released my grandfather’s ashes into the sea of Bari, where he once swam and fished in. It also is an act to preserve the unique life that my mother had, being a first generation Italian kid in the 90s growing up in Little Italy, San Diego otherwise known as Woptown to the gente that grew up there. “angela” is also a reformed dedication to the systematic struggles that my grandparents overcame.
