Engaging communities in creative strategies for liberation.
Princeso is a poet-artist using poetry, graphic and collage-based visual arts, installations, and book arts to explore themes of belonging, displacement, home, and identity.
My art draws inspiration from my upbringing in Santa Ana, California. As a Queer, Chicanx poet, my work carries imagery and symbols from intersecting cultural identities. My framework for the craft imbues the work with a sense of ritual.

unless it first happens in the images in our heads.”
— Gloria E. Anzaldúa
