Thank you to everyone who came to our first LAIGSA lunch of the semester at .tech 💜✨ Nothing better than sharing food, laughter, and friendship across our diverse Latinx cultures. From ¿Qué más, parce? to Pura vida, mae! … our voices, accents, and greetings remind us that together we are one COMUNIDAD 🌎💫

This past Saturday, we explored the campus from a new perspective: SOUND.
With our mobile devices, we captured voices, sonic textures, and acoustic landscapes hidden among trees, stones, and everyday corners.
We then gathered to listen, share, and map a collective experience.
A laboratory of listening and creation 🌺🍀🎙️📳
