The Urbano Project Hosts a Tortilla Social

Listen to this article

Throughout the fall, Salvador Jiménez-Flores held public print-making workshops at both Hyde Square Task Force and The Urbano Project in Jamaica Plain, created on a self-made multi-functional tortilla press. His hope was, that folks in Jamaica Plain would gather to make art prints, enjoy Mexican food, and participate in a bi-lingual dialogue in public community spaces.

“Group print-making,” he shares “is a tool for self-expression, advocacy and education—and food has long been an uniter of communities of all ages.”

The December exhibition will showcase both prints created at the workshops, as well as a screening of the film, made documenting the community art project. View the Tortilla Social Trailer.
