Remolacha.net reported that Dominican multidisciplinary artist Kashmir Jones presented his series entitled “Raíz y Resistencia” [Root and Resistance] at the Mangú Dominican Art Fest in Barcelona, Spain.

“Raíz y Resistencia” [Root and Resistance]by Dominican multidisciplinary artist Kashmir Jones, presented as part of the Mangú Dominican Art Fest in Barcelona, ​​focuses on the figure and legacy of Mamá Tingó, an icon of the struggle for land and peasant rights, reinterpreted as earth and fruit, transformed into root, seed, and the heart of life.

Each canvas is a song to her heritage, an offering to the hands that sow and the women who nurture. A language where the sacred and the earthly coexist: a dialogue between plants, machetes, fruits, and roots, evoking spirituality, work, heritage, and dignity.

These are not portraits of bodies, but of living territories: skin that blossoms, earth that breathes, memory that resists. “Raíz y Resistencia”is, in essence, a pictorial vindication of woman as a creative, spiritual, and eternal force.
