Cosmopolitanism is usually associated with the well-off. Use this collection of Jorge’s personal ephemera to reconsider that idea and witness the continent from the perspective of a man whose modest means have never been an obstacle for exploring, traveling and learning.

    “I always have to scape / And abandon what I love / I am the ghost ship / that can't anchor in any port /

I look for shelter /

in portraits and mirrors /

in moth-eaten letters /

and perfumed memories.”

Excerpt from Julio Jaramillo’s “Romance de mi destino”, one of Jorge’s favorite songs.
