Literary Nonfiction. Latinx Studies. RECUERDOS DE NUESTRO PASADO is a multi-vocal about growing up in El Salvador and growing old in Washington, DC. Part oral history, part artist's book, RECUERDOS emerged unexpectedly from a storytelling group at Mary's Center's Bernice Fonteneau Senior Wellness Center. Using alternating English-language stanzas, the book expresses the life stories of four senior citizens. RECUERDOS includes images of the seniors' photographs and objects, as well as illustrations by the book designer. Eight narrow pages contain content referencing the collaborative practices that engendered this unusual book-as-object.
