I decided to partake in 2018’s Folktale Week Challenge as an opportunity to explore my Venezuelan heritage. I left my country, for the second time, in 2012 and recently realized that, as Venezuelans, we have been so consumed by the sociopolitical crisis of our homeland, we have forgotten to celebrate who we are, or to honor where we come from.
As a result, I produced 7 illustrations inspired on my own vision of some of the most obscure tales and beliefs in my culture.
