FUEGO is a political art show that stands up against fascism in the most powerful way, through art.

The event will be held on Tuesday May 5th 6-9 PM at the Alternative Gallery, and features an art exhibition of political paintings from local artists, poetry readings and live music by a Mariachi.

Though the exhibit is held on Cinco de Mayo, this is not about “Sombreros and Margaritas.” It’s about us reclaiming our right to exist. The event is an opportunity to build a community from the very ground that the oligarchs are trying to destroy. It’s about the current events that are happening right now in the Country and how history will remember it. Art is resistance and we will celebrate Mexican, Latin, immigrant and multicultural roots without fear.

If they are trying to bury us we are the seeds. If they are trying to freeze us with ICE, we are the FUEGO.

🪡🧵 Come learn to sew a patch by hand at the @alternativegallery April 11 at 1pm!

My second beginner friendly class for the year will have you leaving feeling confident to sew your own patches at home. No experience needed!

All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring a patch and the item you want it sewn onto, or just an item you want to add some flair to and I will have some patches to pick from

This event is free and open to the public - I do recommend coming at 1pm to get the full instructions, but if you’re running late, feel free to still pop in before 3!

In my first class we learned how to sew a button. I included some pics from the class (thanks @maristicmoon & @artbyjayechevarria for taking them 🤓)

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
