Este 8 de marzo Frente al retroceso de nuestros derechos, elegimos encontrarnos, abrazarnos y reflexionar.

Conmemoramos el día Internacional de la Mujer

Nos reunimos para alzar la voz.
Para nombrar lo que arde.
Para bordar la memoria en nuestros cuerpos.
Para cantar lo que quisieron silenciar.

Celebramos nuestras luchas,
nuestras ancestras,
nuestras rebeldías vivas.

¡Vivas nos queremos!

Habrá poesía que incomoda y abraza.
Música que despierta.
Bordados que resisten.
Apapachos que sostienen.

Porque nuestras voces no piden permiso.
Se tejen.
Se cuidan.
Se levantan.

Founded in 2001 by José Ome Mazatl and Debby Kajiyama, NAKA Dance Theater creates experimental performance works using dance, storytelling, multimedia installations and site-specific environments. They are honored to continue celebrating their 25th Anniversary year by presenting work at Medicine for Nightmares. NAKA cultivates partnerships with communities, engages people’s histories and folklore and expresses experiences through accessible performances that challenge the viewer to think critically about social justice issues. Recent collaborations include Ja weya ob’aj wij, ex weya nchemaj (My Story, My Weaving), a devised installation-performance work created with Indigenous Maya Mam Women weavers living in Oakland, and Dismantling Tactic X: Fugitivity, a creative response to xenophobia and the threat of mass deportations. In addition to their performance work, NAKA co-produces Live Arts in Resistance (LAIR) in partnership with EastSide Arts Alliance. LAIR is a dynamic series of performance showcases, artist residencies, and community town halls that address racial inequity and white supremacy in popular culture. @nakadancetheater
