FIRST PERSON PLURAL (WE) Artist: Cadex Herrera First Person Plural (We), is a project centered in recognizing the contributions and stories of immigrants from various parts of the world residing right here in Eden Prairie. First Person Plural (We) is an effort to honor their stories and journey as they established a life for themselves and their families in the United States and the impact that they have had through their efforts and determination to overcome adversity and fulfill their dreams to be a part of Eden Prairie’s history. The installation consists of 8’ x 8’ photographic portraits actualized by using various black dots which represent community, mobility and representation on a white background. This is accompanied by the participants’ narratives which are available on the Eden Prairie Rotating Arts Series web site. First Person Plural (We) is on loan from the artist and is part of Eden Prairie’s Rotating Art Series, which infuses art into the natural surroundings and public spaces of the city.
