Día de San Juan
Linocut on Thai Kozo Paper
Description:
Día de San Juan is part of a series of linocut prints inspired by interviews with those who lived in migrant farmworker camps during the mid-1900s. This print portrays two boys bathing in a canal—an intimate glimpse into a cherished cultural and spiritual celebration. Migrant families honored Día de San Juan Bautista by bathing in open or running water, a ritual of cleansing and renewal deeply rooted in Catholic tradition. For many living in the camps, the canals that bordered the fields became sacred spaces of joy and devotion.
Printed on delicate Thai Kozo paper, this hand-carved linocut evokes both serenity and vitality. The rhythmic lines of water and the open landscape capture the beauty of connection—to faith, to nature, and to the fleeting freedoms of childhood.
Día de San Juan invites viewers to reflect on resilience and tradition—how cultural rituals adapt and endure, even amid the most modest surroundings. For collectors, it offers a moving testament to memory, faith, and the spirit of community that defined migrant life.
