I stumbled upon these mujeres known as Las Gallas : Magda Martinez, Julia Lopez and Michelle Ortiz (no relation).

We are a Philadelphia-based multi-disciplinary arts collective that incorporates all of our developed skills in theatre, visual arts, dance, film, poetry, spoken word & literature. We stretch the boundaries of arts collaborations by involving new ways of creating through workshops and mutual interactions. We gather to share stories, inspire dialogue and debate around ideas of family, traditions, religion, education and gender roles. LAS GALLAS are a crew of skillful mañiaticas in search of a project, We roam fields and ethnic enclaves looking for kernels of truth and the occasional idea. Armed with brushes, pens, canvas, paper, film and feet they pave their way. Exploring the exotic destinations of Camden, Philadelphia and the lower east side. Awing their audiences with their “inter-disciplinarian” posturing. Spreading their poultry gospel: GALLAS can lay eggs, carry them and start the kikirikiki-ing on the roof top if need be.
