Join us for a Saturday matinee signing on October 3 with Silvana Trevale! Her new book with Guest Editions, Venezuelan Youth, is about the complexities of Venezuelan identity as seen through the eyes of its youth. 

Yet how do you document a place that many dismiss as a ruin even while it teems with life? For Silvana, the eventual answer was to capture children and adolescents who embody incredible light even during difficult circumstances, so that she might transform the trauma of having left her country into a tribute to the strength of those who still remain. In this way, she’s created a book that reflects the Venezuela that truly exists: “the one I love deeply, a wounded and fearful country, but one that still breathes hope.”
