Poetry, theatre and the art of acting, dance, womyn's spirituality movements, films, political movements here and worldwide, the struggle to find true liberation from exploitation, slavery, starvation. Recognizing the conquistadors within us and outside of us. My amazing family who is very resilient and loving and tries to stick it through the good and the ugly. Learning to dance by step by step videos. Punks, anarchists, socialists, lovers of peace.
I'd like to meet:
filmmakers who fight the Hollywood happy endings, musicians who fuse music together from parts of the world that have never met, painters and artists who are vivid with color and vision, activists who work tirelessly for people's rights, activists who inspire others to move and people with real love for just about anything except oppressing others, control and power. People who believe that power needs to be shared and/or delegated.
Music:
Bomba y plena, Egyptian dance, 60's folk, salsa, reggaeton, latin house, blues, women folk singers, small artists who sell me CDs they made at someone's house. Can get into hardcore if in the right mood.
