Details
Join BMoCA and Motus Theater for an unforgettable performance by monologists Kiara Chavez and Cristian Solano Córdova with musical accompaniment by Spirit of Grace to celebrate BMoCA’s spring Present Box exhibitions by Cindy Loya and Victor Escobedo. Chavez and Córdova will share their personal stories of living in the cross hairs of U.S. immigration policy. Acclaimed singers Spirit of Grace, of Flobots fame, will offer a musical response to each story.
This performance celebrates two consecutive Present Box exhibitions this spring, Motus + Cindy Loya: Returning Home from April 13 – 30 and Motus + Victor Escobedo: A Dim Light from May 11 – 29. Cindy Loya and Victor Escobedo have been paired with UndocuAmerica monologists Kiara Chávez and Cristian Solano-Córdova, respectively, to create two exhibitions that aim to de-escalate divisive beliefs surrounding immigration policies by amplifying intergenerational, family-centric narratives through alternative media, including quilting and puppetry. Presented in partnership with Motus Theater.
