This bilingual letterpress print asserts presence and resistance through bold typography and layered color. The phrase “AQUÍ ESTAMOS” (“We Are Here”) anchors the composition in rich, earthy tones, set against a warm gradient of pink, orange, and red that conveys urgency and vitality. Surrounding words—Memory, Survival, Justice, Resistance, Dignity, Esperanza, Hope—radiate outward, echoing collective struggle and resilience.
Hand-inked marks and subtle textures reveal the tactile pressure of the printing process, linking the work to the physical labor of making and the long history of letterpress as a tool for protest and voice. The statement “We are not cargo. We are not boxes pa’ ICE.” confronts dehumanizing language in immigration discourse, affirming humanity, belonging, and solidarity.
19 × 12.5 in. (48.26 × 31.75 cm)
