Mudanza Project: Community Dance Exchange

Saturday, August 17 and Saturday, August 31, 2024

6:00 to 8:00 PM

at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center

Mudanza Dance Project is a pop-up program by Mudanza serving underserved communities in Dallas, Texas. The project will provide a series of weekly dance workshops to give residents a platform for storytelling, community building, and policy change. Mudanza is a unique program, because it recognizes the sociocultural challenges BIPOC residents face and uses dance as a medium for inclusion of its ability to facilitate conversations and storytelling without the necessity of a common language. In dance the body is the main tool of communication, allowing young residents whose main language might not be English to participate comfortably. The program aims to connect participants of diverse backgrounds to one another in a joyful manner while creating and supporting a network of local artists. Free and open to the public.

Event Organizer: Rebeca Trevino, Mudanza Dance Project

Movement Artists: Rebeca Trevino, Carlos Cortez, Johan Ibanez, Bandan Koro

COMING SOON TO THE GALLERY

The Oak Cliff Cultural Center is honored to present Qué Calor, a solo exhibition by Eliana Miranda with a reception from 6:00 - 8:00 pm on Saturday, August 10. The exhibition will be on view through September 20, 2024.

Qué Calor investigates environmental intersectionality that stems from heat related disasters revolving around the U.S.- Mexico border. The impact of rising temperatures is felt all over the world through catastrophic events such as heat waves, flooding, and droughts. However, the influence of a changing climate is experienced through the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico Border. On the border, heat, land, and water are used as a weapon to hurt immigrants and asylum seekers. These events are detrimental to human life and survival often becomes the overarching goal.
