The Canadian Mosaic: Blended families and bilingualism - Dec. 2015
-
Description
-
Marcela Esteo is originally from Argentina, and immigrated to the United States first, where she had her daughter Luciana Ruiz. The motivation for the project is to discuss family dynamic and language retention for Hispanic immigrants living in Canada. I met with the duo twice, discussing family history and what brought them to London. In 2015 they arrived in London, Ontario where she met and married her current husband, forming a ‘blended family.’ Marcela and Luciana both like living in London. Luciana discusses how being fluent in Spanish and English has helped her advance in her French immersion school. They both help each other out when struggling with different languages. This portrait shows how every Hispanic immigrant to Canada has a unique story, forming a mosaic.
