Join us for an evening of listening, conversation and community as we host a reading of "Where Are We From?"

"Where Are We From?" is a children’s book written by Adriana Prieto Quintero and illustrated by Mónica Andino aimed at building a positive vision about the immigration situation in the United States. This is a book that asks questions. Stimulating questions paired with whimsical illustrations give us entry points to discussing difficult issues of land ownership, citizenship, friendship, language, and borders.

Mónica is an artist and illustrator from Honduras, who has started a new project with the Venezuelan writer and educator Adriana Prieto Quintero. They are exploring different ways to communicate the experiences of immigrants, refugees and minorities around the world. As artists they feel the necessity of raising their voices and their work to depict the reality of millions of people around the world who, like them, have left their home countries.

Copies of the book as well as prints of Mónica's illustrations will be available for sale during the event. The books are also available for sale online at wavepoolgallery.org/shop as well as in Wave Pool’s Gallery and The Welcome Project. The book’s production was funded by a grant from the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, fiscally sponsored and printing by Wave Pool.
