New Australia, Un Nuevo Mundo, Elizabeth Christensen
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Numerous slave owners had plantations in both the lower South and on the islands.

Created with charcoal, watercolor, and ink, these 'advertisements' contrast with an interactive rice bag filled with comics of my everyday experiences. These documentations compel viewers to reflect on their own participation in systems of power.
