HOSA




     Humans of San Antonio belongs to a worldwide network of "Humans of ..." projects to ultimately create "Humans of the World". This Global Human Project was created to showcase diversity of people in your local community but also serves as a vehicle to connect you to people across cultures. Michael Cirlos participation as the sole photographer of "Humans of San Antonio" says that doing this project is a way to present the people of the city you would not typically meet.

     Cirlos says, "I just want to show off San Antonio and the people who live downtown. I want feel more like a native and to re-familiarize myself with the city. I think it is important to remind ourselves to acknowledge fellow human beings. Especially, the one you might not encounter in your own social networks. We are all the same. We are all human beings with real emotions, and intellect, just trying to survive."

     The HOSA project fits this curation, for me, since it is representational of how unique San Antonio natives really are. Every city has its trendsetters, I feel that the HOSA project has captured our city with careful compassion, intellect, and poignant urgency of our time.
