The three-woman play is about being a Black Latina in the U.S., facing external and internal factors as its characters provide a first-hand perspective inside the emotional experience of having one’s identity consistently ignored, erased and split in half.

The exhibition at the CSUSB Anthropology Museum, aimed at destigmatizing substance use disorder by putting a human face on the disease, closes to the public on Saturday, June 10, with special weekend viewing hours from 8-11:30 a.m. Admission is always free.

Theresa Clower, standing by her portrait of her son, Devin, started the INTO LIGHT Project. After completing Devin’s portrait, she was inspired to find others who lived and died like her son and to show the extent of the drug epidemic through exhibits involving each state.
