Details

Join vocalist/guitarist Gizelxanath Rodriguez and saxophonist/composer Benjamin Barson for an evening of musical performance, social movement histories, and reflections on years of arts and activism. Barson and Rodriguez will be performing both original work and that of revolutionary composers from Latin America and New Orleans. From collaborations with water defenders in Kurdistan and Sonora, to multimedia projects that highlight suppressed histories and forgotten struggles, these two musicians will share some lessons on the importance of and possibility afforded by the arts in struggle for a world where many worlds fit.
