 n.  Embedded in the library are installations created by artists Jazmine C

 ged in over the past year. We invite you to walk through our library and s
 ee what happens when artists engage with our collection.Ritual of Ornament
  examines the role of ornamentation in building knowledge systems. This pr
 oject delves into how we manipulate matter to enhance political power\, to
  affirm identity\, and to connect with the cosmos. Catasús is interested i
 n the actions we take to include the decorative in our lives and how it fu
 nctions in psychological and physical spaces.The triad of cultures that ma
 ke one Dominican are muddled. As a young immigrant\, Lissy Mineo-Gonzalez
