Yo Soy Chicago/I Am Chicago

New performance about race and identity in Chicago, curated by Coya Paz of Teatro Luna and sponsored by the Center for The Study of Race, Politics, and Culture.

I Am Chicago/Yo Soy Chicago is a multimedia celebration of Chicago's culturally and aesthetically diverse performing arts communities.
