In Laura’s practice, landscape painting constitutes a tool of rootedness and political imagination that allows her to delve into her own relationship with her place of origin, beyond nationalist and patriarchal constructions about Dominican identity in which she doesn’t feel included. For some time now, she has been developing various pictorial languages simultaneously as a way to be coherent with her heterogeneous roots and as a celebration of her brownness. The act of painting is, for Castro, a space to remember and reconstruct relationships that have been interrupted and erased by colonialism.
