VL Will Be At the Opportunity Agenda’s Immigration Arts + Culture Event Tonite in NYC
2:49 pm By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Arts|Culture|Immigration|New York City
14 Apr 2010Tonight the Opportunity Agenda is hosting an event here in NYC on Immigration Arts + Culture.
As a cultural artist myself, the intersections between activism and art is very important and in fact, for me culture and art express values and identity critical to the survival of immigrant communities, especially people of color communities.
La Mala will be there covering the event live. Please follow VivirLatino on Twitter and be on the lookout for the hashtag #ImmArts.
(More personal, less censored tweets can be found by following Mala’s closed twitter stream- subject to approval).
