The Brown Dot Project was were originally two-dimensional “data pictographs” where brown dots on architectural grid vellum represented actual statistics about US Latinos and their contribution to American culture, professional sector, and economics. The hand-painted mandala on the seat of this child’s Victorian chair signifies the fact that “27.3% of US COVID deaths are Latino” as reported by the US Center for Disease Control, April 2020.
