RISO - Black, Burgundy Red,
Yellow, Federal Blue, WhiteA 5-color RISO fold-out poster depicting Atabeyra, the Taino deity of fertility and life. It belongs to the complementary vessel of publications in my thesis: Los códigos ancestrales. I includes segments from Julia de Burgo’s poem, “A José Martí.” The text is partially translated to Bosiba, a speculative alphabet designed as part of the same thesis project.
The tatto was done by Rafael Torres in Memorial Tattoo, BK.
