An evening of border art and literature featuring Guillermo Gómez-Peña with cameos by Balitronica, from the series “WE ARE ALL ALIENS.”
In his new spoken-word monologue created for El Paso’s Dia de los Muertos celebration, seminal Chicano performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña draws from his thirty-five year archive to present a unique perspective on the immediate future of the Americas. Combining spoken word poetry, activist theory, radical storytelling, and language experimentation, Gómez-Peña’s performance is what he calls “imaginary activism,” a form of radical democracy and citizenship.
