Bridging the gaps
By Michelle Jamrisko and Hannah Woolf | December 9, 2004"SUR" means "South" in Spanish. SUR Magazine means focusing on what's south of the United States: Latin America. The magazine is an "artistic" publication, according to editor and third-year College student Maria Barreix, that features articles on Latin American social, political and cultural issues mixed with original art and photography. It was started in spring 2002 because "there wasn't really a magazine or any kind of publication that targeted the community," Barreix said. Since its founding, SUR -- which is written primarily in English, but also in Spanish and Portuguese -- has become a vehicle of expression for the Latino/Hispanic community, as articles in the magazine are largely submission-based.
