The immigration crisis is always on repeat on the news, but we never hear from the people on the other side. It’s time to reclaim the narrative and give others a platform to speak their truth. Resistance artist Yocelyn Riojas shares her journey on how growing up on the border helped her find her voice in the arts to help others in her community to amplify their voices and share a positive message. Yocelyn Riojas is a Latinx designer, illustrator, and resistance artist passionate about empowering her community through creating a voice for people of color. Her art depicts themes of Latinx culture, women empowerment, and issues surrounding immigration. Yocelyn currently lives in Austin, Texas and is pursuing her Master of Fine Arts in Communication Design at Texas State. Recently, she has been gaining momentum amplifying political messages in support of people of color through art. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
