¡Firme!

The town hall as block party was a hit! No participation from Spokane, and if we expect change we gotta make the change! Here’s a little cuento on a friend that experienced change.

After posting cultural information and an event specific to POC, I was denied sharing those posts I the community I live in. It’s like saying I don’t belong where I live, I not wanted in my neighborhood, and almost like there is no one that wants to know this.

Mexican Independence Day! The day the people of Mexico earned their independence from the rule of Spain. As a bicultural person of indigenous heritage from Los Estados Unidos de México and being born in the U.S. of America the concept of patriotism & independence is complicated. All I can say is this is the independence I identify with, and am proud to express it.

Día de los Muertos is coming up soon, and We’re gesto up for a virtual event this year. Ltnxartes.com will host a virtual art show, and opens the gallery to any Latina/o/x artist regardless of where your located. Join us!!

The smoke is harsh, pandemic is still going, work is still limited, protests are still going, and were still going forward. It’s hard to fight the division among our communities. Many demand change, but we have to change it ourselves. ¡Pa’lante! Forward!

A short story on my 9/11 experience.

In order to creat a culture, make art, change practices, be better in anyway, or even make tortillas you need to to have the “want” first. Then the rest falls into place.

With my experiences in Duffy creative cultures, I see how each environment brings it’s own energy. The creative community in Spokane is amazing, and has immense potential. This horrible situation has placed a considerable halt in the industry, and those in the industry can overcome. There’s much work to be done, and we have the drive to do it. Sooo dalé!

More talent are coming out against the photographer accused of sexually assaulting them. Other photographers are receiving a bad reputation, and the studio involved has closed its doors. On person’s actions have altered a creative industry, and the life’s of many.
