February 23, 2021 Carla Alexandra Rodriguez Meet the artists featured in the exhibition America, I Sing You Back. Begining in June, in response to the murder of George Floyd and subsequent Minneapolis uprising, I began making wet plate portraits on-site at 38th and Chicago as a free service to Black folks in the community. Over a hundred portraits later, I am currently working on collecting these images into a book.
