Additional Info: The third installment of VARIEDADES, a regular performance salon at the Echo in Echo Park, will focus on…ANARCHY! The bill features the legendary Exene Cervenka of X and The Knitters fame, and founders of East L.A. punk Los Illegals… and on the other end of the generational spectrum, Chicano Son, a collective of young Eastside musicians fusing traditional music and radical politics. The evening also includes Richard Montoya of Culture Clash, interdisciplinary artist Marcus Kuiland-Nazario and the radical poet-techie of Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 and b.a.n.g.lab, creators of the Transborder Immigrant Tool, which helps migrants find their way to water in the desert. In addition, Iranian-American multimedia artist Amitis Motevalli will present and discuss an original short film. VARIEDADES is co-hosted by writer and performer Rubén Martínez and playwright and cultural activist Raquel Gutiérrez, and directed by Colin Campbell. Each edition is focused on a different theme and brings together artists across generations and disciplines. Background on the “anarchy” theme: 100 years ago, Mexican journalist and revolutionary Ricard Flores-Magón lived in Los Angeles at a time of tremendous political ferment—on both sides of the border. The term “anarchy” had widely divergent meanings depending upon who uttered and who heard it and it was often linked in the popular imagination with violent radicalism—the “terrorism” of the day. VARIEDADES is inspired by the Mexican vaudeville shows in 1920s Los Angeles in which Martínez’s grandparents were regular performers. The series is made possible by a generous grant from the Material World Foundation (http://www.georgeharrison.com/mwf/main.html) and Liz Garo and The Echo -- micha cárdenas PhD Student, Interdivisional Media Arts and Practice, iMAP, USC Provost Fellow, USC Co-Author, Trans Desire / Affective Cyborgs, Atropos Press, http://is.gd/daO00 blog: http://transreal.org _______________________________________________ nettime-ann mailing list nettime-ann@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ann
