Since lockdown began in March 2020, radical interdisciplinary performance troupe La Pocha Nostra has creatively reinvented their practice with their global community—including virtual spoken word solos, poetry slams, intellectual salons, classroom visits, international performance workshops & festivals—involving all Pocha Members and special guests from around the world.
For this special podcast episode SFAI invites La Pocha Nostra’s Guillermo Gómez-Peña and Balitronica to offer a sampling of their process of virtual reinvention by sharing with us some poetic, political and philosophical reflections of our times. What does it mean to be an American artist during lockdown? Where is the border between despair and hope? What is radical democracy and how can we all participate in it?
This podcast launches on October 5 at sfai.org and sfai.podbean.com.
