Objects of Home: Archiving Our Stories

Guided by storytelling, photography, and community dialogue, participants are invited to bring meaningful objects to document—family heirlooms, everyday items, or cherished keepsakes—that connect us to our histories of home, migration, and belonging.

About the Artist

Christina Delgado, a Baltimore-based photographer, designer, and curator, delves into the intricacies of self and identity through her work. As a Nuyorican transplant from New York City to Baltimore, her lens captures the fusion of cultures and the evolution of personal narrative. Delgado’s portfolio reflects a profound reverence for family and homeland, showcasing how these elements can be both sources of pain and avenues to healing and self-affirmation.

At the heart of her creative journey lies Tola’s Room, a sanctuary for Puerto Rican heritage nestled in Northeast Baltimore. Named after her daughter, Omotola, this immersive museum and cultural space stands as a beacon of representation in the city. Delgado’s commitment to arts equity extends beyond her own endeavors; she serves as an advisor, mentor, and teaching artist, fostering creativity and inclusivity in the community. With a seat at the table of numerous advisory groups and boards, Delgado continues to shape the cultural landscape of Baltimore and beyond.
