https://www.facebook.com/events/239049756575404/ Freedom Dreams: Ana Tijoux, Shadia Mansour & Maya Jupiter Sunday, May 28 at 8:00 PM - 1:00 AM PDT 2476 Fletcher Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90039 FREEDOM DREAMS: a transnational musical dialogue Ana Tijoux + Shadia Mansour + Maya Jupiter ?Progressive social movements do not simply produce statistics and narratives of oppression; rather, the best ones do what great poetry always does: transport us to another place, compel us to relive horrors and, more importantly, enable us to imagine a new society.? -Robin d.g. Kelley Join AF3IRM Los Angeles as we continue and elevate our work of re-imagination, theory-building. We believe that WOC have not only the capacity, but the DUTY to be the architects of the liberation we fighting so fiercely to attain. In the current political moment, poetry and imagination help us produce language and consciousness to articulate a collective vision of liberation-- freedom dreams. Who better than artists and cultural producers to engage with and create spaces for dialogue as we embark in this process? Cultural workers have the ability to delicately and overtly create soundscapes that can introduce us to untapped moods, feelings and visions. Artists have always infused movements with hope and creativity, encouraging us to dream beyond the conditions in which we are forced to live. We are humbled to have worked with Ana Tijoux and Maya Jupiter in this endeavor. And now this year, we are honored to add Shadia Mansour to further this work. WHEN: Sunday, May 28, 8pm WHERE: Zebulon LA, 2476 Fletcher Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90039 presale Ticket info coming soon For more info: freedomdreams@af3irm.org All proceeds to support transnational feminist organizing.
