2020! 

It has been a TOUGH three years in coming back to transforming a lit magazine possibility from what was Repentino. to now the Riff, but wow!  The  glimmers of possibility we have seen- it is exciting!   Time, – It all takes time- So here we are during a pandemic:

~

2018-2019  

Commonalities.  Connections.  Identity.  It is difficult to see them but we have them from within our state to across the world.  We hope our WHS literary magazine The Riff will represent that. 

Let’s start with a community venture, our June 8th Festival.  By bringing together communities of artists found in art, running, walking, writing, music, gaming, food, outreach services, and more, we feel the art of community is built.  Sponsored by the Woodbridge High literary art magazine, we have the following:

5k

Art Competition

Community Gaming Challenges

Community Vendors (Vendor application)

Delicious Food

Musical Stage Performances

2017-2018

Traditions. Senior traditions. Always the chance to show expression and represent in many different ways. Repentino. had the chance to catch up to several ASF’ers and find out what a mural for the class of 2018 meant to them. What is a Mural anyway? By Webster’s Dictionary-

“Definition of mural
1 : of, relating to, or resembling a wall
2: applied to and made integral with a wall or ceiling surface” .   

and the Class of 2018 defined it in their terms as ASF student Lisa states,

2016 – 2017 in Perspective

Wow – it was a year to remember. 

then being recognized as the top dog for PRESLM and high scores at CSPA in New York, wow.  

Hosting local artists at Authors Among US, the big alumni author Neal Schusterman, it was a year to remember and to build on in the 2017-2018 year!

ALL THING REPENTINO.!

You have come to the right place!  In discovering what Repentino. magszine is well that is a difficult pinpointing of info – We not only have developed from an art, to a literary publication, but to a community service supporter, as well as promoter of the arts from one side of the globe to another, as well as forums such as the one below as the PH- FEM discussion panel – which shows how diverse the arts are!

Our social media contacts:

We have begun a cool event such as Authors Among Us –

and as we gear up for our 2015 Leadership Awards and intro to new members, we are seeing even deeper involvements in how we develop and represent the arts in Mexico and abroad!  Any questions of WHO we are or WHAT we are, please do not hesitate to contact us at asflitmag@gmail.com as well as finding out how you can grab a past issue, as well as current issue of Repentino.!

April 2015!

Staff at the PH-FEM Discussion Panel at ASF!   Repentino. Staff members among others attending this important event-

With 58 attendees and a powerful message, this was a once in a moment event!  Vital Voices as a major outlet for information, as well as the text The Confidence Code were all addressed!

Repentino. Staffer Alexa elaborates-

“On the 14^th of April, 2015, the group of young activists who form the PH-FEM Club at ASF hosted an event that had an importance that is not seen often in this school. This event consisted of a panel of seven women entrepreneurs, whose jobs and experiences ranged from a government worker to a miniature artisan or an athlete, and they gladly shared their experiences, advice, and goals to the audience. This gathering gave a strong message to all of the young and ambitious women in the audience, giving them hope and reinsuring that their dreams are valid, and what better way to prove this message than by having seven wonderful and successful women tell you about it.”

Discussion Panelists:

June 5 2014!

Thanks to the energetic, creative, and talented staff of Repentino., on June 5th  we started a new outreach to display the amazing art and submissions that many do not know exist at our new blog for celebrating all the submissions we receive!  You see the magazine is one outlet, but publicizing the amazing works that do not fit a theme we choose for a certain year does not mean that the submissions we receive won;t touch your artistic psyche – and they do!  We hope you do not hesitate to see the ever increasing number of artists added to Repentinoland that will be added – we know you have too since the first few days have averaged visitors in the triple digits – THANK YOU for making this a success!

It is true that motivated and self-starting individuals make Repentino. what it is, and without the reviewers of literature and artists we have that do things on their own, without being asked, Repentino. would NOT be Repentino.!  We realize that the real world does not stop and ask you to do thing to get ahead, and we see young staff learning this and being able to far exceed those that are stuck on waiting mode fro instructions, this is the reality of the world and Repentino..  These are the people we look for to represent the best in represent artistic expression from around the world!  🙂

May 20, 2014, Repentino. recognized leaders of Repentino. doing above and beyond the norm, as well as receiving Most Dedicated Club in the 2013-2014 school year.  THis was really owned by the staff you broke new ground and territory in the third edition of the Repentino., and when you see the new issue, you will know, whoa – what planet did these young innovators come from!  Congrats!  We look forward to the many amazing things to come in 2014-2015!

2013!  ALREADY!  Here we are in the throes of pushing out the 2012-2013 magazine, regrouping with a staff of over 50 from 12 last year, and adjusting with the changes Repentino. needs and looks for in the 21st Century!  Amazing staff using social media as a medium to get the message of art as a tool for creativity, just to begin to see the effects of this project-based effort called…yep!  Repentino.!  (I love that we add a period at the end of the title LOVE, not sure why, but LOVE!)

We have various ways to reach us and keep abreast of the past events and upcoming such as the Open Mic Nights we hold, the Gala we held in September, and more upcoming events as well! Recently we interviewed author Adi Alsaid, illustrator Eko Taibo II from his latest illustrated book and today, Thursday, October 24th, we are interviewing

Ms. Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, that has interned at The New Yorker and author in The Atlantic and has info on New York internships, does it get better than Repentino.?  We don’t think so….:)

If you know someone that could afford to spread their artistic wings, please refer them to our Tumblr page or check out our Facebook site

under the name, Tumblr! We’d love to see international art through artistic eyes at ASF, adults, young teens, children, EVERYONE!
