Sadness Current mood: sadAs a collective, we each gave our community everything we had. We gave without expecting anything in return. Our doors were opened for the sake of youth. To them, we passed on our knowledge of art, design, photography, music production, activism and social justice. We hosted events to expose the community to cultural events and experiences most never knew existed. We hosted events for the sake of art, not the dollar. We embraced a community the city tried to push out. We gave our cultures a stage for expression. Together, we turned 2010 Del Paso into one of the most amazing and unique organizations around. We feel blessed to have witnessed all the events that took place within these walls. Some of the most amazing artists have blessed us with their visions of creativity and passion. We may not have changed the world but we gave many a glimpse of what could be.As an artist, I am proud that I was a part of such an amazing place. A piece of me has gone missing. I am overrwhelmed with sadness as the place I called home lay in ruins.Thank you to my fellow collective brothers and sisters. I will never forget our experiences we have had together.Gabriel Romo (hERMANO)
