Support all undocumented youth
This print was created in support of undocumented folks as well as being a criticism of the United States. Amerikkka has spread fear, weapons, corruption, and violence across the world, creating conditions that force people to risk their lives to escape in search of survival. Folks migrating to the United States continue to live in fear and are being persecuted, put in cages, and killed. As an artist and a formerly undocumented person, I create art that helps undocumented folks heal and calls for their protection and for solidarity with their fight. I will never stop fighting for the safety, happiness, and rights of undocumented people.
Emulsify is a queer femme, healer, artist, organizer, and full-spectrum doula. They are navigating their identity as an artist through an awkward exploration of what it means to call a place “home”. From Ibarra, Ecuador, Emulsify grew up undocumented in New York and has spent a lot of time thinking about how the only place they can call home is within themselves. Their art explores feelings around being undocumented, queerness, depression, trauma, representation, gender, social justice, bodies and how these thoughts inform their artistic practice. Through art, they hope to create alternate universes where we are held and seen in all the ways we want to be.
Emulsify has organized and participated in several shows in New York. To learn more about their work and journey please visit http://emulsify.art or follow them @emulsify.art
