About:
Amber Robles-Gordon’s Successions: Traversing U.S. Colonialism is a conceptual juxtaposition that celebrates abstraction as an art form while leveraging it as a tool to interrogate past and current United States’ hegemonic domestic and foreign policies within its federal district (Washington, D.C.) and its other five inhabited territories. By highlighting nuances related to the U.S. governance Robles-Gordon creates a pathway through discursive criticism around issues impacting marginalized communities oppressed by its rule and questions who has access to resources, citizenship, and the right to sovereignty.
