on our genesis
the women of color archive (wocarchive) is an intergenerational visual & aural based project that seeks to preserve the stories of our matriarchs of color.
this project began in 2016 when our founder, wendy barrales, interviewed her abuelita aída about her life in rural veracruz, and continued to grow through submissions from high school students and community members of all ages.
a selection of student created art pieces from the first cohort of submissions are currently housed through weeksville heritage center in brownsville, brooklyn and newer entries can be viewed on our instagram page through the hashtag #MyWOCArchive
wocarchive is a growing project and is currently accepting submissions. please visit our instagram for more details.
let’s connect.
the wocarchive is growing!
