ESCRITO poetically gestures
to the contradictions of what it means to be a queer
immigrant in the U.S. As Gloria Anzaldúa writes,
“As mestizas we have different surfaces for each
aspect of identity... We are “written” all
over, or should I say, carved and tattooed with the
sharp needles of experience.”
