COVER ILLUSTRATION BY LINDALUZ CARRILLO ’16
LINDALUZ CARRILLO ’16
Lindaluz Carrillo ’16 is a first generation Afro Peruvian raised in Hartford Conn. She is an artist and graphic designer. Carrillo uses typography, textile patterns, and graffiti elements to share her life experiences and values. She reflects on topics such as self love, growth, resilience, and standing in your truth. Her work serves as a message to speak your mind with honesty, and without fear. Embrace your story.
Her illustrations on the cover and on page 24 are reflections of the crises facing our nation, now and throughout our history.
The cover illustration, You Are Loved, is part of a public service art project by Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, a community venture building studio based in Hartford. A 1/1 edition print is being sold online through BLD, with all proceeds going to support the Hartford Mutual Aid Fund.
