I want to be Julio Salgado when I grow up...
I bought this poster by Julio Salgado at the Facing Race conference this fall and finally framed and hung it above my workspace. I am knee deep in editing on the Homie UP documentary and find it comforting to look up at it when the material feels very heavy. He rocks a deeply intersectional and social justice approach to artmaking, plus a sense of humor. And he works across multiple media, including film, comics and the visual arts. I aspire to that. Go buy his stuff! If you like what you see, you should check out Culturestrike, Just Seeds, Dignidad Rebelde, Artists against Police Violence, and Favianna Rodriguez.
