Talk to Strangers! is an artwork by Dayann Pazmino, artist and Immigrant Rights Coordinator for Mano Amiga San Marcos. In this 2019 performance piece, Pazmino interacts anonymously in an on-line chat room with a “Stranger” from North Wales. Pazmino casually raises the subject of immigration but without disclosing that she is a DACA recipient, and a candid conversation ensues.
