I was in Oaxaca when federal agents invaded Los Angeles, where so many people from Yalalag lived or had family.
A surreal week with some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, people obviously not met with the same hospitality in the States.

I went to the mountains of Oaxaca 🇲🇽 for Yalalag’s Fiesta de San Antonio de Padua and saw how basketball brings together local indigenous communities every weekend. www.derange.co/p/basketball...

The core idea is to build a home where these writers can simply write, while we will provide them with the tools to help crystallize their ideas."

"Before I begin to lay out the convoluted line of thought that led to this publication’s creation, allow me to explain this in the simplest way I can. Derange is a place for stories, a place for writing, a place for documentation."
