The Beach Museum of Art welcomed artist Fidencio Fifield-Perez to discuss his commitment to activism and art to commemorate the last day of his exhibit’s display Thursday. During his lecture, titled “Legalities of Being,” Fifield-Perez said he struggled to retain his humanity in the eyes of those who only saw him as a DACA recipient.
“I ceased to be my own person and became a statistic,” Fifield-Perez said. “My narrative didn’t matter to [the government.]”
Through his work, Fifield-Perez said he wanted to share his experience as an undocumented citizen with others.
Melanie Johnson, junior in criminology, said she pondered the difficulties of living in the U.S. undocumented.
“I like to imagine what it would be like for them and their families,” Johnson said. “It must have been so hard, especially for the people who left. I think what he is doing is shedding a light on that.”
Fifield-Perez said he was hesitant to get documented because there were documented people in his community who were immediately deported for a traffic stop because they didn’t have their documentation readily at hand.
He promotes change through his art, which depicts his family using non-traditional materials, as he shows his work around the world.

I’ll bet the liberal lefties suck this crap up.
This is a total lie. If you don't have your "documentation readily at hand", tell them you're "undocumented", they'll change your babies' diapers, give you a welcome basket and a court date scheduled for 10 years down the road and send you on your way to the welfare office. "Catch and release".
Your narrative didn’t matter to the government and it damn well doesn’t matter to me get the F out of my country.
No such thing as an undocumented citizen.
“Artist shares his struggle as an undocumented citizen through art”
Artist shares his struggle as an illegal alien through art.
There, I fixed it.
Is that a patriotic red, white, and blue sweater you are wearing?
Oh NO, it’s a green, white, and red sweater. The colors of the MEXICAN flag!
Covfefe! (so, F*** off)
Undocumented citizen??????
He is a documented citizen of ANOTHER country.
He is an ILLEAGAL ALIEN in the USA and should be removed ASAP!
Go back home and you can stop struggling. Not rocket science.
Obama has someone else’s SS# so all illegals think it ok.
