Title Spotlight

By depicting people from all over the world against a background that matches their skin tone, Angélica Dass shows us how wonderfully colorful humans really are, questioning the concept of race and the limited categories we use to describe each other. Through a playful and dynamic layout, The Colors We Share encourages looking, questioning, and thinking bigger―inviting us to think about race, and our common humanity, in a new way.
