"Homesick" is a sequel piece to my zine "Where Are You Really From" (2025).

During the height of Metro Surge in Minneapolis this January, an ICE agent harassed me and told me to "go home." As a transnational adoptee standing in a government occupation where people who look like me are being detained, deported, or killed, this was a loaded request.

I did not ask or consent to be brought to the U.S. in the first place. I was adopted from Colombia as a baby; while I don't have concrete memories of Colombia, my body remembers. I am homesick for a place where I have spent very little time, and “I can't go home.”

50% of artist profits go to ongoing mutual aid efforts in Minneapolis as the occupation continues. - Charlie Andrés
