Al trabajar con artistas, siempre se descubren nuevas imágenes y formas. El alfabeto es diverso y flexible, y lo fascinante de esas particularidades es que al usarlo de forma verbal o escrita, siempre conserva esas características, algo que se podría comparar con los inmigrantes y sus idiomas. En New York la inmigración es diversa, y los lenguajes que se usan para comunicar, incluido el inglés, se vuelven flexibles para poder permitir esa comunicación. Estas son las letras de los países de los dichos que se escogieron para aparecer en el próximo número del Sursystem Magazin. Como se puede ver, todas son diferentes y únicas, como lo son quienes las hicieron y quienes las compartieron. Cuáles países crees que están representados con estas letras?_____________Working with artists always leads to the discovery of new images and forms. The alphabet is diverse and flexible, and what is fascinating about these qualities is that—whether used in speech or writing—it always retains them; this is something akin to the experience of immigrants and their languages. Immigration in New York is diverse, and the languages used for communication—English included—become flexible to facilitate that exchange. These are the letterforms representing the countries associated with the sayings selected for the upcoming issue of Sursystem Magazine. As you can see, each one is distinct and unique, just like the people who created and shared them. Which countries do you think are represented by these letters? #lettering #caligrafía #immigration #nycimmigration #sayings

TAHITI TATTOOS : An Illustrated HISTORY of TAHITI ’s ANCIENT TATTOO TRADITIONS

By Gian Paolo Barbieri and With Raymond Graffe and Luisa Gnecchi

Discover the rich, GLOBAL HISTORY of Tahitian tattooing in a stunning journey through artifacts, cultures, and styles that continue to inspire today’s tattoo artists.

This book is a RICHLY ILLUSTRATED journey into the sacred art of Tahitian tattooing, tracing its origins, meanings, and enduring cultural power. Long before tattoos traveled the world, the people of Tahiti practiced tatau as a living language—one inscribed on skin to mark genealogy, social rank, spiritual protection, and personal identity. Each line, curve, and motif carried stories of gods, warriors, navigators, and the natural world.

Through VIVID ILLUSTRATIONS inspired by traditional designs and historical accounts, this book explores how tattoos were created using ancestral tools, natural pigments, and ceremonial rituals that bound the individual to the community. Readers will discover the deep symbolism behind iconic patterns and learn how tattooing functioned as both art and rite of passage.

The book also confronts a pivotal turning point: the arrival of European missionaries in the 18th and 19th centuries, when tattooing was suppressed and nearly lost. Yet tatau endured. In the modern era, Tahitian artists and cultural guardians have led a powerful revival, reclaiming tattooing as an expression of heritage, resistance, and pride.

Both an art book and a cultural history, Tahiti Tattoos honors the skin as a canvas of memory and the tattoo as a bridge between past and present.
