HBHQ (Heavy Bubble Headquarters) is at 1241 Carpenter Street. We have some of the most amazing neighbors. One of them is Michelle Angela Ortiz, she is a South Philadelphia native and part of our wonderful community at 1241. We first met her at the opening of El Viaje, created with Nora Hiriart Litz. As a visual artist she seeks to capture lost legacies, personal stories and silenced voices in her work.

We were thrilled to hear that Michelle was selected for a Philly Te Ama! video. In it she speaks about her work as an artist and why Latinos are an important part of the arts & culture community in the Philadelphia particularly in the context of the Mural Arts Program. Enjoy.
