On the streets of Brooklyn in the 1970s, Veronica Chambers mastered the whirling helixes of a double-dutch jump rope with the same finesse she brought to her schoolwork, her often troubled family life, and the demands of being overachieving and being underprivileged.

Her mother—a Panamanian immigrant—was too often overwhelmed by the task of raising Veronica and her difficult younger brother on her meager secretary's salary to applaud her daughter's achievements.

The definition of the word "disjecta" remained a mystery; we all just assumed it had something to do with avant-garde or experimentation, or that maybe the word itself meant something like "difficult to define." And then, suddenly, Disjecta was gone.
In a cruel twist of fate, Disjecta's elusive definition--which is actually a Latin word meaning "scattered remains or fragments"--became all too apt when the arts organization lost its lease.
