Ojala Threads' El Camino Jarrito reintroduces this classic campo piece to a new audience.
We've wrapped the the nostalgia of los jarritos often held by our viejos with a hand-painted depiction of El Camino. El Camino re-imagines the world's most famous birth story using Taino symbology.
Each Jarrito features a different symbol on the back. Because they are handpainted no two are the same. Your Jarrito will be accompanied by my El Camino poem.
"Some use roads, others trains. Some sit in planes that navigate paths created by wind. Imagine if they saw us now. Leaving our lands. Navegando la aduana, and not stars.
Es que cuando la tierra ya no da, people flee, migrate, run...
When you have to protect your legacy, the next generation, you are willing to risk it all. In hopes that the child designed by the universe to occupy this space, este momento, this branch on the family tree, will have a chance.
But chances are tricky for there are ríos que son grandes. Y del desierto ni hables. But there once was a child that was found by the North Star and honored by three kings".
