Guadalupe Maravilla has adorned columns in “Tierra Blanca Joven” with drawings inspired by the childrens’ game “Tripa Chuca” (translation: dirty guts). He describes it as: “a game for two players, who write two sets of the numerals 1 to 20 placed randomly on a piece of paper. One player takes the odd numbers; the other the even. They then take turns drawing a line to connect the same number in sequence from 1 to 20, without touching any other numbers or lines. At some point, whoever touches the line loses the game.”⁠ ⁠ The game is popular in El Salvador where Maravilla learned it as a child. It then became an important way to pass the time on as well as a metaphor for his two and a half month journey to the United States. “I had a little notebook and I would play with everybody along the way, with other kids and some adults. … Just like the [patterns created by] game, migration is the same way.”⁠ #GuadalupeMaravillaBkM⁠
