We Are Our Cultura

Mainstream society has a history of commodifying culture and appropriating traditions while disregarding the communities they come from. This erases the people who have kept the traditions alive and eventually leads to a situation where we forget we were ever a part of that something.

Our Mission

To reclaim traditions, reintroduce aspects of cultura that have been lost, and renew connections through grassroots and community-based cultural programming.

Con Safos

The c/s or Con Safos concept is an Chicanx symbol and idea used on graffiti that translates to ‘with safety’ and proclaims both ownership and protection of whatever it is added to.

The history behind the con safos concept

Drink Cultura: Chicanismo

“It was meant as a safety precaution, a barrio copyright, patent pending. No one else could use or dishonor the graffiti. It was an honorable code of conduct, a literary imprimatur. Like saying "amen," it ended discussion. Above all, it meant, "anything you say against me will bounce back to you."

Con Safos is resting and re-rooting as we plan for 2026.

This season of reflection is shaping the next chapter of our work in grief, memory, and community care. More soon.
