Migration Is Sweet

"Migration is Sweet” is an interactive installation created by locally-based Jolt, a LatinX civic engagement organization. The piece was created in response to the ongoing state of limbo of DREAMERs, whose future in the U.S. remains uncertain. The “Migration is Sweet” installation is a 7’ X 7’ monarch butterfly whose wings are adorned with “pan dulce” (Mexican sweet bread). The Monarch butterfly is a powerful symbol of migration and the pan dulce highlights the cultural influence of Latinos and calls attention to the contradictions of those who claim to love so many aspects of Latino culture (such as food), but don’t want the people who make these ubiquitous cultural contributions possible. In this episode you will hear Jolt's volunteer Art Committee members discuss the installation and surrounding topics facing the immigrant and LatinX community.

Episode 1- Cristina Tzintzún

Jolt aims to build the political power and influence of Latinos in Texas. To do that, we need to extend beyond organizing: we must move people to action through emotion and story. This is the goal of Voces: to celebrate and uplift the voices of Latinos in Texas, and to highlight the incredible people who fight every day for justice. In this first episode we'll hear from Jolt's Founder and Director, Cristina Tzintzún, on how Jolt came to be. Thanks to the incredible musician & Jolt member Gina Chavez: all of the music you'll hear on this episode is from her album Up.Rooted.
