Below are archived articles from Travesía Artística – a blog I first created while participating in a community arts program in Puerto Rico in 2015 with CCCADI. Through Travesía Artística, I continued documenting my experiences back home in NYC and beyond; writing about artful events, community arts, social justice, DEI, and the Puerto Rican diaspora. Starting in 2022, I will post all new articles on the main page of LorieCaval.com.
Further below, you will also find PDFs of a variety of writing clips, from journal and magazine articles to press releases and bios written for freelance clients.
