Reading - Writing - Celebrating - Marching: We Are the 99%


A Family Affair

Tim Z. Hernandez sent us a note about an upcoming literary event that also features his daughter.

Hecho En Califas: 3 Authors + 2 Musicos

I'll be reading at Innisfree Bookstore next Wednesday October 12 at 7pm.

Along with fellow California based authors, Nick Belardes and Michael Medrano, my daughter Quetzani and her friend Denzel Samaniego, both Boulder High students, will be opening with a few acoustic songs too. Should be a fun-filled literary evening with some locura tossed in for good measure. Innisfree Bookstore is on the Hill. Hope to see you there!

The Museo de las Americas, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Mexico and the Mexican Cultural Center present Wixaritari. This exhibit provides viewers with an opportunity to experience one of the most important and unique cultures in Mexico today. Detached and elusive, the Huichol people have managed to preserve their way of life and maintain a spiritual relationship with the universe through complex ceremonies. Living in accordance with their original instructions, in a world where colorful visions and conversations with nature conjoin to create a resplendent aesthetic, Wixaritari: the Huichol Art of Mexico speaks a contemporary tongue.

Celebrating the Indigenous Roots of the Latino Community

Su Teatro hosts a special program in conjunction with the Eighth Annual Indigenous Film & Arts Festival.

Sirionó

Sirionó - A gripping tale of mistaken identity in a time of revolution. Set in the community of Ibiato, Bolivia, before the historic 1990 Bolivian March for Land and Dignity to the nation's capital, Sirionó tells the fictional story of a revolutionary guerilla as he flees from the dictatorship's military forces and is mistakenly accepted as the teacher the community of Ibiato has been expecting. In Ibiato with English subtitles. Saturday, October 15 - 1 - 3 p.m. Suggested donation $5-$10

Celebrating the Indigenous Roots of the Latino Community is part of the Eighth Annual Indigenous Film & Arts Festival, which runs from October 12 - 16, 2011 in various neighborhoods in Denver. All Festival events are free and open to the public (suggested donation: $5-$10).
