PLATICA: 10 YEARS OF HECHO EN CALIFAS
Raza Renaissance, or Just Flavor of the Month?
November 14
2pm
In 2001, Bay Area Latino music critic Jesse “Chuy” Varela called the Hecho en Califas programming at La Peña “a raza renaissance” for Latino twentysomethings. Now celebrating its tenth year, the Hecho en Califas Festival re......presents a wide spectrum of Latino performance artists and styles from California and beyond. Several of the young artists featured at Hecho began developing their work at La Peña and other Bay Area venues, and have expanded their projects to national and international audiences and venues. This platica will convene artists and producers to discuss the impact venues like Hecho en Califas can have on young Latino artists. What are the new opportunities for Latinos artists to develop their work locally and nationally? What are the new venues and audiences interested in supporting Latino arts? Join the discussion about the future success of Latino arts in the Bay Area and beyond with moderator Paul S. Flores.

Many of us are among the First Generations of our families to navigate the often elusive, always schizophrenic...... American Dream. In that context, we are pioneers. We are the first to get citizenship; the first to graduate; the first to get a “good” job. We carry with us the hopes of previous generations who struggled to make our time easier than theirs.
We are manifestations of the American Dream, and we are also architects of the American Dream. We have learned to embrace the freedoms that are available and we are often the first in our families to reclaim art as a vocation. We become poets, dancers, musicians, DJ's, rappers, performers, filmmakers, writers, designers, and painters. We do things our parents and grandparents could never imagine. Our creative output reflects this experience. We are the innovators, re-mixers, tastemakers and trendsetters who make Bay Area culture.

“Raw-Dios: Behind the Pigpen in the Morning,” takes us into the pop cu......ltural landscape of the “Shock and Awe” era, when the US began bombing Iraq and Americans were bombarded with commercial distractions and blind vengeance. Four working class listeners with their own intertwining stories of vengeance and loss are inspired by a raunchy radio DJ when he suddenly breaks with the corporate script only to be thrown up against an unflinching power structure.
Raw-Dios is a story of struggle over control of the airwaves and their power to affect human consciousness. This play has been commissioned by the National Performance Network.
Starring Luis xago Juárez, Mona Webb, Rosa González, and Tommy Shepherd (plus members of Baktun 12 - prerecorded as the voices of the 'Pigpen in the Morning' Marcos Cabrera, Hernan Gutierrez, Rafael García, Vanessa García, and J.P. Coronado)
Directed by Lakin Valdez
