Student Narrative
Based on the 1980’s salsa song El Gran Varón by Willie Colon, this book follows the narrative of Simon and their struggles in the Latinx community concerning LGBTQ+ issues. Illustrated to follow personal struggles akin to Simon’s, the book is a collection of images that displays dysphoria and abuse. This book is part of a larger project exploring sexuality (especially with Latinx bodies) and the colors attributed to sexuality.
