Los Tres
arte by Yessica, poema by yucca
living on the borderlands
means paddling in shallow bodies of water,
llorando por que we can’t express, ni explain,
the weight of our bones
the overwhelming taming and booty flaming
and the way nopalitos sting us in our sleep.
when we open our eyes,
la luna, el corazon, y el sol,
remind us of a swinging spectrum
the rays pulsating into crescents and corn husks
as las ranitas give birth through the night.
creating un mundo sin fronteras,
is understanding that we illuminate through barricades
perpetuated by the thorns of our past
cradled by a transparent power
and are able to fragment them within ourselves
with the help of others.
A collection of
Lotería (a Mexican game of chance played like the gringo Bingo) cards in an art form (painting, crafts, graphics, lo que sea (whatever).

Cross-Leggèd Defiance: For last night's Loteria Joteria, we made the decision to remove "El Negrito" from the deck
One of our board members explained that when it comes out it often leads to anti-black racialized jokes that make her as a Black Mexicana feel uncomfortable.
So we removed it to ensure that the spaces we create under ULP are safe for everyone in our community.
But I’ve been thinking a lot about…
Any folks know of any Loteria art or artist?
Lotería Jotería is only a week away! Ahhhh! I’m so excited.
