CONTRA-TIEMPO

Hearkening back to Alvarez's Salsa roots, this work will be an embodiment of our complicated truths and a re-framing of our relationship to sugar as a way to confront harmful systems of oppression. CONTRA-TIEMPO's cultural organizing work with black and brown communities in Los Angeles in conversation with Celia Cruz’s music re-interpreted woven together with Alvarez's personal narratives of racial identity, growing up in the movement and mental health. Azucar will be a tapestry of truth-telling, a call for liberation, compassionate and conscious collaboration and an affirmation of our future as a people. The work will be an ever evolving creative process shared both live and remote.
