#migo

I don't talk much about it online, but when I created Migo I created him thinking of indigenous identity in mind. Specifically this feeling of being something and being so far away from it, being and yet not belonging. Its a certain cultural melancholy I'm sure many americans (continent) will share. He has always been an indigenous brazilian isolated from his culture in urban context. Though things have changed so much in my life in the last few years I feel like I can share a bit of this joy with him, too :)

With everything that has happened and still happens in our continent, reclaiming an intentionally erased identy is a harsh journey. though if I can say something to any indigenous person out there that is worried about starting this journey, it is that your family wants to have you back, no matter how long time has passed and how different you may be now.
