** Opening Ceremony - SATURDAY**
Lengua De Tigre (Austin/Colombia) - Ceremonial offering: We heal together
This short opening ceremony centers around a ceremonial corn altar for collective healing, activated by poetry, drums, and an ofrenda. The audience is invited to participate. Visuals and Ofrenda by Paola Ward and Beatriz Lopez. Poetry by Tane Ward, Victor Andres Cruz on tambor alegre.

💥 Collaboration: Tambores del Pueblo (Austin/PR) & El Drip Cuts (Austin/El Paso) 💥

*Tambores Del Pueblo is a community music ensemble that focuses on wellness through music and dance. The facilitators share education and instruction of Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba to the community for wellness, cultural diversity, and preservation of history and oral traditions.

* El Drip Cuts is an Austin-based experimental video artist and track selector. Their work incorporates digital projections and recorded video media using technicolor digital waveforms, simultaneously embodying natural forms and the abstract.

Premiere alert!
“Y Si” is an original collaboration by Huachichil-Chichimeca performance artist Mario A. Ollincoyotl Ramírez (Dallas) and Dominican jazz/experimental musician Julián Pujols Quall (Chicago). A living project between movement, music, and projected media, observing diasporic traditions that refract off of shared histories of displacement as they saturate into a broad spectrum of joy, creativity, and futurity. The piece unfolds through synchronicity, rupture, and transformation. ‘Y Si’ is an offering that invites audiences to relate with one another’s stories, reminding us that we are closer than we think.
