While Nadia waits for her asylum to be processed, she reflects on the life she left behind in Honduras while reliving the arduous journey to the United States. Through original music, movement and puppets, Ursula speaks to the heart of our shared humanity as audiences experience detention through the eyes of a child trying to make sense of all that is happening around her.

LCC summer camp kids starting off their day with a little dance. 💃🕺

Come visit our current exhibitions "Queer-ltura y Queerpo" and "Someone, Like Me" now through July 13, 2022. "Queer-ltura y Queerpo" brings together the works of eight queer artists and groups in which the body is used as a medium and subject to talk about important socio-political issues amongst the Latinx cultural diaspora. "Someone, Like Me," aims to present artists exploring life and love beyond the gay male gaze. With eight queer femme and non-binary artists working across mediums and cultures, Someone, Like Me gives a view into queerness beyond rainbow capitalism with an alternate view of gender fluidity and queerness being celebrated.

From Latino Cultural Center: THREE KINGS DAY CELEBRATION

COME AND ENJOY A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING FACE PAINTING, MUSIC, A CLOWN, DANCE PERFORMANCES AND MORE.

The Kinfolk team took a Dallas field trip to visit museums and galleries!
•
We first went to the South Dallas Cultural Center to view Andrea Tosten’s exhibition, “She Blinded Them With Science”.
•
We then made our way to the Latino Cultural Center and saw their “Ground Breaking Shovel” series by different artists.
•
Then we headed to the Dallas Museum of Art and saw their interactive show, “Movement: The Legacy of Kineticism” curated by Dr. Katherine Brodbeck!
•
Across the street from the DMA, we stopped at the Nasher Sculpture Center and got to see their outdoor sculptures!
•
Also right next to the Nasher, we made a visit to the Green Family Art Foundation and viewed their exhibitions, “Black Abstractionists: From Then ‘til Now” and Bernadette Despujols’ “Oh Man!”.
•
Last but not least, we went to the Talley Dunn Gallery and had the opportunity to view a part of Gabriel Dawe’s show before its last day, titled “Ode to Futility”.

Have you seen the mural “Danza de la Tierra” by Judy Baca at the Latino Cultural Center?

In 2008 the Dallas Latino Cultural Center, (designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta), commissioned Judy Baca to paint a mural for the lobby. The central theme of this work is dancers in movement. It is a work that incorporates the concept of the dance of life in harmony with the rhythms of the earth.

Also featured is Legorreta’s tower where the original work is located. In the dancer’s dress mural acknowledges leading, Texas Latino artist, including: Lydia Mendoza, Las Hermanas Fragas, Luis Jimenez, Santa Barraza, Gloria Anzuldua, Sandra Cisneros, Hermanas Segovia, Tony De La Rosa, Valeria Longorio, Narciso Martinez, Rudolfo Anaya and Selena.

**FREE DUO ATESORADO**
Duo Atesorado means “treasured duo”. The partnership was formed on the belief that Latin-American and Mexican music was too important to be overlooked and under-represented. The timeless beauty and sincere storytelling in this genre was meant to be shared. Noe and Amy came alive when they performed together. They thrived off each other’s energy and the authenticity of the emotion was palpable. They share a common mission of education, performance, and support of Latin-American and Mexican music.
Duo Atesorado hopes to share this enthusiasm with you at the Latino Cultural Center.
