CHISMOSA: the zine
CHISMOSA: the zine is an anthology that gives voice to the impact of the word "chismosa" across cultural and national lines, family ties, and generations. Co-edited by Latina poets Sofía Aguilar and Celeste Alyssa Gomez, the collection features selected poems, short stories and essays, and visual art from 17 artists who are dedicated to reclaiming a word that has the power to hurt and tease, inspire and uplift.
Throughout this zine, you will find out the truth behind family stories, personal relationships, and immigration journeys. You will watch your neighborhood transform in front of your eyes. You will see a mythological woman for who she really is outside of the myth.
This is a project that extends an invitation for you to join us at the table and listen to secrets that have revealed themselves, going from being buried for so long to being brought into the light.

- 30-page full-color zine
