    About the Book

    Edit

    Discover artist Jonatas Chimen's most introspective art piece and personal writing: In Thy Tent I Dwell, first featured in 2016 at The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami, is a masterpiece which retells the stories of immigration, adaptation, forced conversions, and hybridization of the artist's family through their 500-year Diaspora. Foregoing a linear narrative, Chimen has produced a multi-sensory experience of nostalgia by painting, threading, writing, and appliqueing on photographs, birth certificates, inquisitional archives, and immigration documents, in a large-scale museum-quality installation. Through the metaphor of the tent, Jonatas speaks of the universal immigrant experience of wandering through time and space, as well as of the isolation and secret religious practices which his family was forced to adopt as far back as the Spanish Inquisition in the fifteenth century.

    Paris

    Jônatas Chimen DeSouza Dias DaSilva-Benayon (b. 1981) is a Brazilian-American Master Fine Artist (MFA) and author, whose work explores identity through the lens of migration and cultural fusion. Drawing from his own immigrant experience and those of his family, his art blends traditional Spanish Realism with multimedia approaches, incorporating elements like immigration documents, DNA tests, and personal diaries. His work, featured in biennials, museums, and galleries for over 18 years, reflects themes of displacement, belonging, and the importance of embracing cultural heritage as a cult to history and to future potential.
