Editorial — Manuel Martin

Thirst For Freedom

In February 2014, when thousands of Venezuelans were protesting delinquency, food shortage, and rising prices, motion designer Manuel Martin and his wife decided to take to the streets and to declare civil disobedience. During the following years, Manuel converted his experiences into an illustration editorial called “No más”—“No more”.

22. Januar 2018 — MYP N° 22 »Resistance« — Text & Illustration: Manuel Martin

After patching up our wounds and resting for a few hours, we woke because of the residual noxious plastic stench of expired lachrymatory gas and looked for where the sky was blackened by smoke. We knew that where the smoke billowed, there was a fight to be joined, and where there was none, a fight needed to be started. Our only weapons were our resilience, our perseverance, and our thirst for freedom.

Manuel Martin is a motion designer and art director living in Boston.
