Simone Honors Thesis
“A journey of self reflection on my Latinx identity through jacquard knit and Cumbia performance. The imagery moves through stages of empowerment and dissociation, accompanied by quotes from Latinx poetry. Cumbia is seen as a dance of ethnic mixture supporting the
tension and exploration of imposter syndrome within the collection. The Cumbia skirt is worn twisted around the body in different ways, reflecting
a lack of knowledge of formal traditions. The collection is meant to capture a sense of overcompensation in cultural expression as a means of
justifying one’s self in their identity.” – Simone White
