New Newsletter and Reintroduction

Antonio Alanís introduces his new newsletter, Rooting Cultura, a space where he brings together his experiences as a visual artist, illustrator, children’s book author, curator, and grant writing consultant. Through essays and reflections, he explores how art and culture shape identity, belonging, and social change. The newsletter will examine themes such as migration narratives, cultural representation, arts education, philanthropy, and the role of artists as cultural workers. Grounded in his belief that culture influences imagination, politics, and everyday life, Antonio uses this platform to reflect on storytelling, challenge harmful narratives, and highlight the power of art to build more inclusive communities.
