The African Diaspora has moved all sorts of people to all sorts of places under all sorts of circumstances. Figuring out how to live life to the fullest while negotiating the pressures that minorities face every day is part of determining how your cultural history affects your personal present. “African-American: Identity, Living On Both Sides of the Hyphen,” at the URI Feinstein Providence campus, scrutinizes the very provocative questions that lie within the subjects of “Afro-American, Afro-Native, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Asian, and Afro-Euro­pean” lives, “examining this struggle and celebrating the cultural richness.” The show runs through February 24 | uri.edu/prov/missionvision/urbanarts/currentgallery.html
