Our take
Titled after her childhood nickname, Rebeca Huntt’s raw and therapeutic debut boldly turns the prying lens on herself, warts and all. Tending to the familial roots that cultivate her practice as an Afro-Latina artist, Beba confronts the limits of assimilation with poetic rigor and political urgency.
