On Friday, October 8, 2021 there will be a performance, Tlanezi by Laura Yohualtlahuiz Ríos-Ramírez
Awakening out of 500 years of Resistance, We are the children of the sun. The spirits of the ancestors who could not be killed or silenced. We are healers, dancers, artists, creators, weavers of new futures. We are here! Produced by Performance artist, and culture bearer Laura Yohualtlahuiz Ríos-Ramírez featuring members of Kalpulli Ayolopaktzin, Tlanezi is a theatrical ritual that invites us to witness the awakening of our warrior spirits and heed the call to love, honor, and connect with our self, each other, and our ancestors.
Laura Yohualtlahuiz Rios-Ramírez is a Mexican-born Xicana scholar-practitioner of Tepehuan, Guachichil Chichimeca, French and Spanish descent trained in educational pedagogy, circle keeping, performance art, and community organizing. Currently residing in occupied Somi Se’k Territory of Yanaguana, (San Antonio, TX) she’s recognized for her canon of healing-informed praxis intersecting performance art, ancestral knowledge systems and restorative/transformative justice practices as tools for personal and collective transformation.
