Artist Talk: May 7, 2026, noon
Format: In Person
As a photographer and first-generation immigrant, Alice Di Certo gives visibility to the diverse population of individuals living in Tacoma and surrounding areas who were born in another country. In a moment in history when non-US-born face heightened scrutiny, discrimination, and often violence, it's important to stop to see the common humanity we all share.
Alice Di Certo explores the dynamics and connections between people. Her goal is to provoke reflection in her audience, offering new perspectives on life and human interaction.
