artworks > Abecedario de Juárez

Like Hans Holbein's 1538 alphabet, death is at the core of Abecedario de Juárez, a book collaboration with Juárez journalist, Julián Cardona.

A compilation of the 100+ drawings will be paired with a new vocabulary rising out of Juárez, and will fix aspects of an ever evolving language that is secretive by nature. It will inevitably be a history book. Many words and meanings will have fallen out of use before the pages are bound.
