Hola, soy Logaine. I’m a Peruvian writer and artist. I’ve been living, learning and growing as an uninvited guest in the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples- Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Semiahmoo- for six years now. I feel truly privileged to be here. Mucho gusto.
As a mother, I was deeply touched by this story of love and resilience. As an immigrant, I can relate to the frustration of not being fully seen and having to navigate situations with a lack of clarity, empathy, and information.
In times when fragmented points of view pose the threat of dehumanisation, giving voice to the least represented becomes even more important. I hope these works spark many conversations, even if, to see each other, we must start asking difficult questions.
