la tiuna and hip hop in the ccs

after many days and nights seeking it out... we found hip hop in the ccs. sarah and i went with irvin to la tiuna fuerte, a youth program in el valle were young folks learn about hip hop and graffiti as well as the various other art and cultural elements that inform the lives of youth today. here go some images from the spot and some from a show with some kids from san juan.

in the ccs

 


i'm finally here in the city of dreadful politics. i live in one of the opposition strongholds in a pretty fancy apartment with two folks from the states and have been spending my days between chavista rallies (even though i promised i wouldn't), buying furniture, changing dollars, and as a shadow of the minister of the popular economy for the city of caracas. as i move between and within all of these spaces i miss home so much. i would give anything to confirm my life outside of here. to wake-up cold assured that rain was coming to the bay, able to call smurph in the early morning, to run with lis, to walk with j... i miss my folks and can't wait to see you out in these parts. until then here go so images from my first week.
