HABLAMOS JUNTOS: Together We Speak Book
The Hablamos Juntos project is a unique opportunity to bring contemporary Latino art to young people who may know little about it.

Pictures and Words
With the help of six Writing Project Assistants, students were guided to find their story andvoice. The results reflect the unique perspective of a group of young people who have often been marginalized and not heard. Like the Latinx artists, these students write about potent subject matter with a raw and honest outlook. Most of these stories are autobiographical and some could be calledautobiographical fiction, but all are drawnfrom contemporary cultural experiences and observations.
Art/Work
Art/Work, the fifth book in the Hablamos Juntos Series, is a youth-to-youth effort: local middle school students, inspired by the artwork of youth participating in the S.O.Y. Artista program at Self Help Graphics in East L.A., tap into their own experiences and express their creativity through personal narratives.
