Join us for a musical performance and demonstration of traditional and contemporary handcrafted Tongva instruments by Robert Dorame. Robert will demonstrate the different sounds and effects of these instruments, while performing his original songs inspired by his Tongva heritage, the Tongva language, as well as wax cylinder recordings of Tongva songs held by the Smithsonian.
On the 50th Anniversary of the September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile that ushered in 17 years of dictatorship and continuing struggles to address its aftermath, Chilean American visual artist and writer Francisco Letelier offers insight into the use of culture as a tool for building solidarity and advancing justice and democracy. In the half century since the coup, Chilean exiles have created a new home in the US; through solidarity and exchange, efforts for justice in Chile have joined efforts to advance social justice and memory in the United States.
