ABUNDANCE presents cutting edge performance art and interdisciplinary work by artists whose lived experiences as non-traditional or fat bodies challenge intersectional forms of oppression. ABUNDANCE is a call to taking up space with pride, generosity, and a spirit of collectivity. This assembly of artists invites the public to witness and participate in the reclamation of our own plentiful bodies: disrupting the status quo and forging liberatory ways of being through community.
Held over three days at L.A. Dance Project, ABUNDANCE will include re-stagings and new work by performance, sound, and literary artists Patrisse Cullors, Edgar Fabián Frías, Jessica Carolina González, Vanessa Hernández Cruz, Alima Lee, Caleb Luna, Melba Martínez, Cody Perkins, Ghis Rodríguez, Yesika Salgado, and Dorian Wood. Responding to the word “abundance,” these artists examine the politics of their existence through the way they see and experience the world, with abundant, generous, humorous, joyful, or rageful entry points that will put our collective and individual biases into question. Two Fat Girls Press will be onsite offering a selection of zines available for purchase.
