{"id":10,"count":4,"description":"It is no surprise that identity and diaspora are common themes in Vig\u00d4\u00f6\u00a3\u252c\u00eda\u2019s publications. Nancy Morej\u00f3n, Afro-Cuban poet, is a frequent contributor to Vig\u00d4\u00f6\u00a3\u252c\u00eda. She regularly addresses themes of identity and race. She argues for a new Cuban identity, merging Spanish and African cultures. Her work on Ana Mendieta is a piercing account of Mendieta's attempts to deal with diaspora and identity. Sent to the United States at a young age during Operation Peter Pan, Mendieta constantly grappled with issues of identity, displacement and belonging through her work as a performance artist, sculptor, and filmmaker, focusing on body art. She died tragically at a young age.\r\n\r\nEdiciones Vig\u00d4\u00f6\u00a3\u252c\u00eda has helped to create a Cuban identity through their selections of literature and traditions of the past. This, combined with their designs, interpretations, symbols and images, has contributed to the construction of contemporary Cuban identity.  \r\n","link":"https:\/\/exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu\/vigia\/section\/identity\/","name":"Identity and Diaspora","slug":"identity","taxonomy":"section","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu\/vigia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/section\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu\/vigia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/section"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu\/vigia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/section"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/exhibitions.library.vanderbilt.edu\/vigia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/item?section=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
