It’s #HispanicHeritageMonth! We are Pelea Animation, a Colombian-owned 🇨🇴 studio hard at work producing the teaser for our debut film, “Pelea.”

“Pelea” is a 2d short film about a coup in the fictional South American nation of Vivencia. Stay tuned for production updates!

First up, these two backgrounds I painted for @peleaanimation.bsky.social. I had the job of painting a lush Colombian jungle scene and the destruction of that same jungle for oil drilling. I was out of my comfort zone for the latter because of the heavy machinery and the oil drills-

Picture this: a 2d hand drawn animated movie taking place in a tricolor (🇨🇴🇻🇪🇪🇨) South American country with a lesbian love story at the heart of it, fungi-based steampunk inventions, and an anti-imperialist plot.

Sound like the type of film you’d want to support? Stay tuned for our fundraiser!

It’s #indieanimationday! We are Pelea Animation, an #indiestudio creating our debut film of the same name, “Pelea.”

The story takes place in Vivencia, a fictional South American country based on 1960’s & 70’s 🇨🇴🇻🇪🇪🇨.

The film talks about real issues of
imperialism with #steampunk elements.

Aya was in university and Mohammed was an accountant. They had a beautiful house together & were working towards building their family — but thanks to imperialism, everything has been stolen.

Now they are struggling to survive, please donate & share 🇵🇸: bit.ly/4mcNaMs

Aya and Mohammed need your help — there are very limited resources in Gaza, and they dwindle daily.

They are starving and the food that is left is very expensive — every single donation counts!

The word “pelea” means “fight” in Spanish, and that is exactly what we do — fight for important causes through art.

We are an independent studio currently producing our first animated short film.

Hala and I have so much in common: we are around the same age, share the same love for art, share the same dreams of bringing animated films to life. All that separates us is being born on the opposite sides of empire.⁣⁣

Please donate and share this post to give Hala a chance. #palestine

Hala Abu Alu is a 22 year old animation student from Gaza 🇵🇸

Hala should be focusing on her animation career, but instead she is forced to fundraise for her survival.⁣⁣

Pelea Animation is an indie animation studio dedicated to bringing anti imperialist films to life.

“Pelea”, our debut film of the same name as our studio, is a 2D animated short film currently in production.

The film is about land defense in South America, this is our first poster. #pelea #2d

Without an end to the armed conflict that drove them away from home, they can’t return to their territories. The Emberá dream is to be able to go home. ⁣Until they are able to return to their territories, they deserve just and dignified living conditions in the cities they seek refuge in. ⁣

The Reality for people living in La Rioja:⁣⁣
⛰️Overflowing sewage⁣⁣
⛰️Dangerous cooking conditions (over 80 gas tanks)⁣⁣
⛰️Outbreaks of TB, gastric, and intestinal diseases⁣⁣
⛰️Children exposed to contaminated water⁣⁣
⛰️26 children have died since 2024 in UPI La Rioja⁣⁣

This is artwork I made for Humanconet’s campaign for the displaced Emberá people seeking refuge in Bogotá.

Just 2 km from the Colombian Presidential Palace, over 1,800 Emberá people, displaced by armed conflict, are living in dangerously overcrowded conditions meant for only 450 inhabitants.⁣⁣

COVER REVEAL - Excited to show the cover for my YA debut graphic novel, SILENCED VOICES. I've been working on this for the last 3 years or so.

This book is very close to my heart. I used a lot of historical research, and my own experiences living in Guatemala during the last years of the civil war
