^^Los Dichos de los INmigrantes en NYC^^

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo reclamar y preservar la sabiduría popular que se encuentra en los dichos compartidos por los inmigrantes que viven en la ciudad de Nueva York. Estos dichos se transmiten de padres, familiares y amigos a los miembros que emigraron, muchos de ellos los aprenden en sus países de origen. Estos dichos desempeñan un papel vital en el mantenimiento de la cultura popular de sus ciudades o pueblos de origen.

Estos dichos proporcionan a los inmigrantes una voz interior reconfortante y familiar, ofreciendo motivación durante circunstancias desafiantes y a menudo hostiles. También alientan a los inmigrantes a perseverar en perseguir sus sueños y brindar consuelo y esperanza durante las inevitables dificultades que surgen en una nueva ciudad.

*Immigrants’ Sayings From NYC*

This project aims to reclaim and preserve the popular wisdom found in the sayings shared by immigrants living in New York City. These sayings are often passed down from parents, family members, and friends, or were learned in their home countries. They play a vital role in maintaining the popular culture of their cities or towns of origin.

These sayings provide immigrants with a comforting and familiar inner voice, offering motivation during challenging and often hostile circumstances. They encourage immigrants to persevere in pursuing their dreams and provide solace and hope during the inevitable difficulties that arise in their journey in a new city.

Agradecimientos al Máster @zecarrillo por los carteles!

Nos vemos!

MY PERSONAL CARDS!

On the past month, I went to two different events, the first one was a presentation in La Morada restaurant on South Bronx. It event was about made paper with used paper and the topic was the immigration at the current situation under the Trump presidency. I went there for many reasons, the first one was that I wanted to check the work out that Mobile Print Power did with La Morada restaurant about this project that was connected with the Bronx Museum. The second one reason was to meet with the different organizations that were there representing the community and the last one was eat some Mexican food from La Morada restaurant. 

A couple of weeks after it event, I went to the NY Art Book fair in MoMA PS1, first, to do networking and second to look if there were some interesting publication, on Fanzine or Magazine format. I found several publications that caught my attention in, but I will dedicate another post to talk about that publications.

On both events, the people who were there gave me their personal cards or business card, as some of them called it. In the same time, they request me for my personal card, and unfortunately, at that moment I did have not it. This lack of personal cards came from a long time ago, also, long time ago I was thinking in make my personal cards through the web pages that offer that service online, but I never did, maybe because I was waiting for the right moment. 

I lost in both events the opportunity to let to these people know my work as publisher but I gained the time to think about how I wanted to make my personal cards. 

Finally, a couple of weeks after these events I realized in which way I wanted to make my personal cards. The way that I found to make my personal cards was the same way that I always try to use when I work on publications, the name of that way is D.I.Y. I wanted to show the result here. 

The materials that I used to do my cards were: a rubber stamp, carton and white blank sticker from the CD labels. 

I made the whole work, and I feel that I did it very well, and I think that some of the things that we need and we used every day on the daily basis we could make it for our self. 

Try it!
