In Partnership With:
- O, Miami Poetry Festival
- LAA Office

Fabricated By: Moonlighter FabLab / Mario the Maker
Lo Que Tengo Son Letras is an artistic project by LAA Office for O,Miami that reimagines the game of Dominos by creating tiles with "dichos" or phrases that are associated with the respective number on the real tiles.
O, Miami opened a call for submissions so the community could share the cultural phrases they associate with each number tile, and they shared the findings with LAA Office, which in turn designed the various tiles to create a complete set.
Moonlighter Fablab fabricated the custom design by LAA Office in time for the 2025 O, Miami Poetry festival – and various other community events throughout the year, that encouraged people to play with these turns of phrases – keeping the culture, and the stories behind them, alive.
This project celebrates the rich cultural tradition of dominos in Miami's Latino community while adding a poetic twist that transforms a beloved game into an interactive art piece and conversation starter.
