LA TIENDA (THE SHOP) ~ LETRA CHUECA PRESS
Two patiperras (Camila Araya and Daniela del Mar) hailing from Chile, now based in Portland, Oregon, share their journey to create bilingual art that intertwines social justice with the craft of letterpress printing.

Inspired by process films of the 1970s, we combined observational documentary filmmaking with vibrant, stylized product shots to elevate the prints and artwork.
