MFA student Charlie Star expresses her Afro-Caribbean heritage through innovative media and reshaping existing materials. Working primarily with audio and visual collages, Charlie's diverse pieces explore the themes of colonial and imperial resistance found within reggae, ska, rocksteady, dub, and dancehall.
