Watcha, Paperback / softback Book

Watcha Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

Through free verse, personal photographs, and prosaic gestures, Watcha by Stalina Emmanuelle Villarreal serves as a watching manifesto that unfolds, layering genres and media. The reader becomes a spectator of a gallery that curates Latinx, Afro-Latinx, and Indigenous art through ekphrastic poetry.

On occasion, the viewer sees theoretical or anecdotal prose contextualizing art observation through introspection.

With the codeswitching between English and Spanish as well as with the political implications of the artwork and personal history, the book’s trajectory charts a vast terrain that ranges from an artistic standpoint, to border crossing, to belonging, to portraiture, to self-portraiture, to abstraction, to death, to a call for action.

Watcha invites inquiry, a space for sight, memory, and consciousness.
