EastSide Arts Alliance Presents
ATLACUALO: Ceasing of Water
A Work-In-Progress
Saturday, Sept. 4 at 8pm
EastSide Cultural Center - 2277 International Blvd. Oakland $10 510.533.6629
$10, no one turned away
Q & A with the artists to follow the performance
Drawing from the poetry and power of pre-Hispanic myths to tell the story of depletion of natural resources, ATLACUALO Ceasing of Water, reinterprets ancient Mexican mythology and iconography to explore pressing ecological issues of our time Ð particularly around water and water rights. The multi-disciplinary production utilizes contemporary dance, performance art, new music composition, visual art installation, and video.
ATLACUALO is the product of the artistic encounter between two Mexican artists living in San Francisco, Jose Navarrete and Violeta Luna, and their collaboration with video/film artist, Ricardo Rivera; music composer, Javier Torres Maldonado; visual artist Lauren Elder; with script by Debby Kajiyama.
We invite the audience to provide feedback to the artists after these work-in-progress performances. ATLACUALO, in completed form, will premiere at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in March 2011. |

Final Fridays Films of Resistance & Solidarity
Mountains That Take Wing:
Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama-
A Conversation on Life, Struggles & Liberation
Friday, September 24, 2010 7pm Free
EastSide Cultural Center
2277 International Blvd Oakland
Both Angela Davis & Yuri Kochiyama will be at this screening, so be sure to come early!
Mountains That Take Wing features conversations that span 13 years between two formidable women whose
lives and political work remain at the epicenter of the most important civil rights struggles in the US. Through the intimacy and depth of conversations, we learn about Davis, an internationally
renowned scholar-activist and 88-year-old Kochiyama, a revered grassroots community activist and 2005 Nobel Peace Prize nominee's shared experiences as political prisoners and their profound passion
for justice. On subjects ranging from the vital but largely erased role of women in social movements of the 20th century, community empowerment, to the prison industrial complex, war and the cultural
arts, Davis' and Kochiyama's comments offer critical lessons for understanding our nation's most important social movements and tremendous hope for its youth and the future. Filmmakers C.A. Griffith & H.L.T. Quan.
