Peruvian art is full of these casual moments, where artists like Pancho Fierro portrayed still slaves in watercolors, a kind of way of telling how they lived in 1800. Because of this, the baker was one of the axes for life. The artist finds a way of reinterpreting and uniting the past with the present in these characters. In this way, keeping alive where we come from as Afro-descendants.

Bio: Joan Jiménez Suero (37) lives and works in Lima, Peru. With a long history in the street art scene, his work has passed through countries such as Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and the entire American continent.

In his artistic practice, the roots of minority aesthetics, of the other, have been evident. Consequently, there is a presence of the symbols and signs in relation to elements that coexist within a complex city such as Lima; Violence, inequality and above all social injustice. They demand a relationship of belonging from the Latin American viewer, to the city they inhabit, within a current context. The pedagogical axis that the artist proposes transfers his interpretation into a dialogue that the city establishes with art, according to its own means of representation, such as posters, tags, scratches, phrases, etc.
