Michelle Falcón Fontánez’s Raíces weaves together photography, storytelling, and memory to explore Puerto Rican identity, ancestry, and resilience. Through projects like MATRIA, El Litoral, A Call to Our Ancestors, and Atabey, she uplifts women of color as community pillars, healers, and guardians of cultural heritage, while tracing connections between land, spirit, and the sacred feminine.

Raíces, “Roots”, celebrates the deep connections that ground us in culture, ancestry, and place. Presented in honor of Latine Heritage Month, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the power of memory, identity, lineage, and preserving your culture. Through vibrant color, and symbolic photographic imagery, the artist explores how histories both inherited and chosen shape personal identity and collective belonging.

Each piece becomes a visual root system, intertwining stories of migration, resilience, and resistance. Raíces reflects on the strength we inherit, especially from the women whose work, often unseen, continues to nourish and sustain our lives across generations.
