We close out the second season of Se Ve Se Escucha with three Boricuas using language justice to create bridges between folks in the diaspora and folks in Puerto Rico! Cristóbal Guerra Naranjo is an interdisciplinary artist and language worker from Borikén. Their work combines experimental video, documentary film, visual art and text to explore ideas of “home”, el Caribe, queerness and belonging. Patri González Ramírez is also an artist and language worker born and raised in Borikén. They create media for self-healing and support the growth of multilingual competency in community organizing and social movements through interpretation. Pao Lebrón Guzmán is a diasporic BoriCuir, food grower/maker and cultural organizer pursuing a path to decolonization by recovering and creating new language, preserving food and seeds, and making medicine and through earth stewardship. Pao uses language as a tool for organizing and for remembering inter-generational knowledge. Together, Cristóbal, Patri and Pao constitue Colectivo Babilla, a collective of Queer/Cuir transfeminist anti-racist language workers who come from experiences of migration and the diaspora. Recorded in Brooklyn and Borikén!
