Overview

In My Mother Resents Me, Victoria Linares Villegas wonders if her mother has always been a sad person, and works towards an understanding of her own relationship to her that draws on old photographs and new discoveries – an exploration that takes the artist back to the Dominican Republic’s former dictatorship, and the idea that anxiety, solitude and sorrow can persist through generations.
