Vida Americana reveals the profound impact that Mexican muralists had on American art during the Mexican Revolution in 1920 and thereafter. It examines how artists in the United States broke with European aesthetics to create public accessible art that spoke to narratives both epic and common.

The leading Mexican muralists-José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros- influenced American artists to use their art to protest economic, social, and racial injustices.

We hope that you and your loved ones are doing well and keeping warm at this time. As we dive into another month, we are thrilled to extend the invitation to our upcoming events for November. But before do, we would also like to introduce you to our new artist-in-residence recipient: People of the Chaotic Period, and their project, Haus of Dust: This residency brings exciting community programs we hope you can be part of!

Dates: November 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, and a final group session with all six participants on December 5th. Times are still to be determined.

Cost: Free

In collaboration with National Queer Theater, Haus of Dust is excited to organize and host a chorus workshop. This workshop is open to all who are willing to participate and can commit to participate in the project. Facilitated by Vanessa, who plays the role of the Master of Ceremonies (MC) in Dust Vanishes Away, the workshop will focus on utilizing breath and presence to spiritually connect to the self and others, rather than skill. By omitting the necessity for skill and prior training, the workshop will foster harmony with the self and others and create an inclusive space for creative expression and inspiration. The workshop is limited to six participants.

 RSVP here!

Date: December 1st - 6th, 2020

Cost: Free

Creativity and Collaboration Through Shrines is presented in collaboration with The LGBT Center and the Loisaida Center. Participants will help create life-size shrines of each character in Dust Vanishes Away. By creating life-size shrines of the actors, the final product aims to engage their presence beyond their physical role in the project. The goal is to directly involve and include the community in creating elements of the production that call for collaboration and whose creation can act as a means of healing, whether it be spiritual, mental, or emotional. All artists welcome. Guided instructional videos will be distributed at a later date by Revolución Latina.

 RSVP here!
