Started by amiga Elizabeth Torres, the virtual revista features all art forms from visual art to music, film, performance and literature.
While not a Latino/Latin American magazine per se, the premiere issue features many Latino and Latin American artists including Excusado Printsystem (*Frente gráfico independiente) from Colombia and Costa Rican Poet, Jose Maria Zonta.
Red Door NY has been born, finally.
The initiative was created as an independent door to connect the community and to serve as a space for free expression in any field. To allow each and everyone of you to become the protagonists and the creators of opportunities, threading waters between New York and the world, in a timeless manner. Our goal? Rebuilding present. Leaving a footprint in the city and causing reactions. Wake up. It is time to exist. Reaffirm your origins, be proud of your culture, of your talent, of your fears, doubts, and emotions. Share them.
Urban intervention, poetry in everything we see and do, no dress code. The proposal of RDNY has been created as an approach of interaction. Information and rebirth through culture and technology, in each page, in each segment.
Take this space as an invitation to step out of the box, break the format and the royal run around, and take some action. Show us what you’re made of, how your life is changing others, give everyone a chance to come in and be a part of your projects, your dreams, your story.
The time has come to quit complaining about the big charade of past-due concepts, useless policies, traditions, formality, square fairy-tales. Throw them out the window and walk inside the red door. Undress code exposed.
Give us raw, fresh, clean, simple truth. Question identity. Intrepid Self Expression. Reinvention. Rebellion. Recklessness. Conscience. Visual Eloquence. (and all that good stuff). All we ask for is to finally see art frolicking in reality. We exist.
Elizabeth Torres.
VivirLatino is a daily publication published by Mamita Mala Media, dedicated to featuring all the latest politics, culture, entertainment of interest to the diverse Latin@ diaspora.
