July 2018 

In the spirit of collaboration, we invite our friends and family to our many community and cultural partners' hosting events. 

It's a busy summer and we want to help you make the most of it with Latinx programming (all free and low cost!)  from friendly collaborators.

Seguimos!

Mala Rodriguez / Ana Tijoux's Roja y Negro / Girl Ultra
The Latin Alternative Music Conference returns for its annual showcase with a night of fierce women headlined by the Spanish MC MALA RODRIGUEZ, whose fiery hybrid style "marries flamenco, boom-bap hip-hop, laptop trap, and '70s soul." (Remezcla) 

ANA TIJOUX, a French-Chilean rapper "who melts and reworks the Spanish language like a blacksmith," (NPR) returns to the Bandshell with her ROJA Y NEGRO project, which takes her sound in a folkloric direction and shows off not just her her rhyming but also her equally formidable singing chops. 

Mariana de Miguel, who performs as GIRL ULTRA, is "a bleeding-heart R&B diva from Mexico City." (Remezcla) She takes inspiration from the actresses of Mexico's golden age of film in the 1950s, especially Silvia Pinal.

Circo Social - Circus & Community
Workshop: Juggling, Equilibrium and Acrobatics.
Date: Saturday, July 28th - 2pm to 6pm

The different disciplines of the Circus promote and enhance the development of multiple skills and protective factors, both at the group and individual level. In the group field, these techniques promote respect for one another, solidarity, mutual support, group identity, and confidence as an important driver for the practice of various circus techniques. 

 At the individual level, these disciplines boost self-esteem, help manage tolerance, promote the ability to rise up, resiliency, and learning from failure. Additionally, to develop a sense of humor is a protective factor, to help know and be surprised with oneself, to visualize the potentialities, and to respect the body as a tool of work and artistic expression.

We really hope to see you soon!
