I Speak 

“They tried to bury us; they did not know we were seeds” | “Intentaron enterrarnos, pero no sabían que somos semillas.” (Dinos Christianopoulos)

 

This quote that is originally attributed to a Greek poet facing societal erasure has been used in various contexts, including protests and movements in Latin American communities, as a symbol of hope, resistance and resilience. Art is the pulse of a culture, and often mirrors the rollercoaster of life and the greater society. Like a seed, it rushes toward light to expose its existence. In this vein (and with appreciation to the Frazier History Museum for standing in solidarity), we present some of our best work for these roiling times as reflection, inquiry, pride, antidote and balm.

 

This work is created despite the prices over our heads, persecution of our community and spoon-fed diatribes. We showcase a tidbit of what is our potential, and that in so doing it reaches you allowing the seeds in your heart and mind to grow and find your true Self; the Self that is all of us.
