Artist Harmonia Rosales

#HarmoniaRosales (born 1984) is an Afro-Cuban American artist from Chicago, USA.

Her first solo show, titled "Black Imaginary to Counter Hegemony," was installed at the Simard Bilodeau Contemporary in Los Angeles.

Rosales works to reinterpret Renaissance masterworks by replacing #BlackHeroines as the main subject of the painting because she says that “religion and power go hand in hand” and the colonists had used religion to “manipulate and control.”

She explains the idea that a Eurocentric white male dominated heaven is all what people seen and it is what everyone grows up around to the point that such a high value is placed on them.

This view to her made her feel excluded from this Eurocentric dominated art world which helped to inspire her paintings.

She said that she hopes to be able to empower people with art, even if it is a small group of individuals and to give women of colour “artworks that reflects their beauty that has been ignored for so long.” via Wikipedia

My heart aches for the Cuban people. Not just the Cubans on the island, but for all those who fled. The generational trauma is real, and it’s a silent battle cubans have fought for six decades.

But you know what hurts too, the silence coming from the people in my life. I haven’t stayed silent on the recent protests on social media. Do you think any of my coworkers have checked in? Any of my non Cuban friends? They see what I’m posting, what I’m saying. It’s been emotionally tolling this entire week. I’ve seen a lot of true colors this week. But as Cubans do best — I’ll keep moving forward. ♥️🇨🇺

New work by Levi Ponce in Silver Lake, a tribute to Gladys Gutierrez—a big contributor to the neighborhood’s food culture in the 70s/80s/90s—and the area’s Latin history.

Immigration. Separation. Condemnation. Assimilation. These and other themes and topics are touched upon in my debut book, Fatherlands: Identities of a Cuban American. This memoir -- the most challenging writing project I've undertaken since first learning the English language -- is the book I was meant to write. I hope many English-language readers around the world will find it interesting and informative, and perhaps more.

Young Cuban Americans

“School recesses; young Cuban Americans raise flags and milk bottles. Cuban revolutionary patriot Jose Marti is honored at San Carlos Institute, Key West.”

My family HATES cops

since I was a kid, all my aunts, uncles, abuelos would rattle on and on about how horribly violent and unjust the police were. First under the Batista regime and then under communism. Every family reunion they would share horror stories about how the boots terrorized their communities.

But here’s the thing. My family hates Cuban cops, but they have no problem with American cops whatsoever. When American cops do the shit that they say the Cuban cops do, my aunts, uncles and abuelos just shrug and move onto talking about sports.

And here’s the important part. AMERICA and other white European nations invented the modern police state. Whether it was to catch runaway slaves above the Mason Dixon Line, to enforce colonial rule in Burma or Algeria, or to suppress the working class in New York City and Paris, the white Americans and white Europeans made it.

So, when we look with disgust at what’s going on in your standard militarist bootclicking autocracy abroad, don’t forget that the cops are doing the same to your neighbors as we speak. Break the chains in America, break the chains around the world!

During a time where Latinx people are gaining traction in television and politics, it is refreshing to see an openly queer teenage girl in a daytime television show. Coming out as a queer person in Latinx families with oftentimes deep religious times can be do or die for some, and to see a family rally behind and in support of Elena is a beautiful and important thing to watch unfold!
