Introduction – Oppression & Resistance.

Created by Dr. H, students and colleagues, this collage speaks through layers of pain, memory, and resistance. It moves from the personal to the political, tracing a path of solidarity through struggle. June Jordan’s “I was born a Black woman and now I am become a Palestinian” is not just a statement. It is a transformation shaped by shared oppression and the fight against it. Images of protest, headlines, and fleeting moments of care are held together by blooming flowers, soft yet unafraid. The piece does not offer answers. It holds grief, anger, and hope all at once. In a world that keeps shrinking the space to live and breathe, it dares to imagine another way forward. A quiet call echoes at the bottom: It is time to make our way home.
