AN URGENT FORUM TO RESPOND TO THE EVER CHANGING FORMS OF EXOTICISM THAT CATEGORIZE US AS ARTISTS

This is an open call for black/brown/latinx/immigrants/people of color/latinaomericanos/sudamericanos/chicanos

BUT ALSOANYONE who has felt the pressure of referencing their "exoticism" as a (fill the blank) artist (queer, womxn, trans, immigrant) in order to access funding or spaces to participate in the forum: Where do I get my tortillas? an evening to play with the labels and stereotypes that have been put upon us in the process of OTHERING, while funding, creating, promoting and presenting our work.

Participants need only bring their questions… you know, THAT question you’ve been asking yourself for a while, maybe more brains can come to your aid. And we will also open the space to show(short) live performances (performance art, dance, movement, theater or music) work on the subject.

We hope to find solace in each other, bitch about our common pains, and ignite collaborations that can contribute to the understanding of our very complex identities.

Ideas, writings, and pictures of the event will go to a collective zine, and any other outlet we feel the need of.
