Robin's "Informed Memories" boldly explores his family's complex multiracial DNA and their ongoing struggle with racial identity. Through his insightful exploration of racial constructs, he discovers the profound power of reading and how it has equipped him with the tools to examine complex issues from an informed viewpoint. This enlightening concept, known as "Paideia," which is a journey of self-discovery through the interrogation of one's lived experiences and cultural influences, was introduced by W.E.B. Du Bois in his seminal book "The Souls of Black Folk."
Robin uses traditional and digital mixed media within his creative process to create unique effects, compelling textures, and striking aesthetics that allow for unconventional artistic expressions. "Informed Memories" powerfully aims to illustrate the intricate layering within our lived experiences and memories. Through his family's complicated experience with racial constructs, and their collective search for "Paideia," Robin invites you to explore the complexities of your own personal experiences.
