Atlas Linguae

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, to a Palestinian mother and an Irish father, content creator Bernadette Kirwan’s upbringing was, while fascinating, a lot more complex than that of even most multicultural people. Bernadette (@bernadette.kirwan) makes shortform video content on Instagram and TikTok, where she often both celebrates and finds humor in her different cultural backgrounds, and in our interview she talks about her unique journey into learning about and appreciating all the cultural roots that she embodies.

Atlas Shorts: Why Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan

How did Brazil become the country with the largest Japanese population outside of Japan? For Atlas Linguae, we talked to UK-based, Japanese-Brazilian content creator @kenzomizumoto about his cultural background, among other things, and we wanted to tell the story of how South America's largest country became a hub for Japanese immigrants, to the point of having fully Japanese neighborhoods, schools, and newspapers!

Both in his everyday life and in his videos, comedy content creator Kenzo Mizumoto (@kenzomizumoto) loves to challenge stereotypes in a fun way. Born in Brazil to a family of Japanese descent, and currently living in London, Kenzo has found success on Instagram and TikTok, where he has made hilarious videos about Asian stereotypes in martial arts movies, cultural peculiarities of life in the UK, and, of course, millennial problems. In our conversation, Kenzo shares how he enhances the humor in his videos, as well as how he loves having the chance to talk about his cultural identity to people who may not know about the large Japanese community in Brazil.

Before cell phones and the internet, if you wanted to call La Casa, you’d have to stroll into a cabina telefónica (calling center) and pay for some minutes with a few quarters.

Set in 1995, La Cabina Telefónica is a bilingual audio novela that tells the story of Matty Cardona, a Colombian immigrant who launched Matty's Llamadas y Servicios 82 to do just that. She runs the shop in Jackson Heights, Queens with her daughter Rossy and offers calling, printing, faxing, money transfers and much more to her local clients. Each episode includes a phone call in a phone booth at Matty's, with a different story about familia, love and community.
