^^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.

Happy to invite you to my new project with the Brooklyn Public Library, here is the art and if you are interested in participating you can send me an email with the information I request in the form or you can send it to me in a DM on Instagram, thanks to @bklynlibrary and @bplpresents for supporting the project and I hope you are encouraged to participate!

*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!

SURSYSTEM MAGAZINE 3R WORKSHOP AT THE SECRET DOOR TATTOO STUDIO

Last May first, I was invited by @barriocollectivebk to do the Sursystem 3R workshop at @thesecretdoornyc studio. It was beautiful working with the studio crew; it was such a group of talented people who were focused on the work process and made their own magazine without hesitation or complaint. 


I want to share pictures of the people who participated in it, plus the fanzine Expo we put together to show the participants the fantastic world of independent publishing.



All of them made a piece of artwork for the magazine content; also, the covers and back covers of the Sursystem 3R were made, decorated, and designed by the people who joined the workshop, too.

Special thanks to @adrianishungry for his work with the Riso print machine, to @loly.roots and @bubalu.electricttt for their support throughout the workshop. Also, many thanks to Holguer from @thesecretdoornyc for hosting the workshop, it is an amazing place full of talent and possibilities. We were 14 people working 5 hours straight, and nobody left the ship. I hope we will do the workshop again soon.
