la fábula de color

This greenery is a metaphor for Laboratorio para la Ciudad, who are working on amazing projects and defining the governments approach and policy suggestions. The gray, is unquestionably the government. 

One thing and one thing only.  I FOUND AN EFFIN VIBGYOR!

Since I’ve been looking into migrant stories, this struck a chord as soon as I laid my eyes on it. Mexico has a long history of migration, but with the current socio-political dynamics people have been dying and the American dreams has become costlier than it ever was. 

Did you know, that Mexico has a history of using murals as political statements? 

Oh dayum. The beauty of hand painted type in Mexico just keeps getting better and better. Which other place would so much effort in painting a sign for a medical store, but the bigger question is why won’t they put in the effort. The use of colours and depth in these signs across CDMX is wonderful, and needs its own documentation. Seriously. 

While walking through the streets in a small town, in Tlaxcala, I felt like I was walking in Gujarat with its toran and paved roads. And also, the strangers smiling at you as you walk by. So much for missing home from the field study in 2009, and finding it again in another part of the world in 2018. 

Them old school lettered walls, and that’s why I love small towns. 

Amidst the colonial buildings, there was a set of stores following the same colour palette and stand tall in the center of the town. The first time I saw this building, there was a band performing right in front of it. And with the hustle and bustle of the market place, the building and music looked cinematic. So here’s to documenting experiments around the world.
