Ridiculous Light

In Ridiculous Light, Valencia Robin finds her subjects both in a Milwaukee childhood of neighborhood libraries and trees like “awestruck afros,” and an adulthood marked by the joys and tumult of family, love, and artmaking. Taking on subjects as varied as Lake Michigan, changing notions of race, TV Westerns, and fatherlessness, Valencia Robin is a storyteller of the first order, a documenter not just of memories but of how we remember.


Vivid and inviting, Ridiculous Light bursts with beauty and wisdom.

In Ridiculous Light, Valencia Robin isi gaseste subiectii atat intr-o copilarie din bibliotecile de cartier din Milwaukee, cat si in copaci precum „afros uimit”, si la o varsta adulta marcata de bucuriile si tumultul familiei, dragostei si artelor. Avand in vedere subiecte la fel de variate precum Lacul Michigan, schimbarea notiunilor de rasa, TV occidentale si lipsa de tata, Valencia Robin este un povestitor de prima ordine, un documentar nu doar al amintirilor, ci al modului in care ne amintim. frumusete si intelepciune.
