Tragic Bitches. Forget what you think you know about queer Xican@s. And please forget what you think you know about our poetry. Adelina Anthony, Dino Foxx, & Lorenzo Herrera y Lozano promise an evening of brazen poetry with themes of family unity and disunity, ethnic bonds and bondage, assimilation and displacement, clit envy and penis worship, hard-ons and even harder break-ups! And, of course, it takes bitches with those Mexican-cantina survival skills to make you both laugh and cry at the tragedy of it all… a night of reclaiming ourselves.
Adelina Anthony, a Xicana lesbian and multi-genre artista, currently resides in Los Angeles. Her work addresses issues such as colonization, queerness, feminism, trauma, memory, gender, race/ ethnicity, sexuality, and anti-migration. She believes access to a progressive education and transgressive art empowers individuals and communities to make healthy and life-lasting transformations. She is frequently booked at universities and cultural centers where she performs, and/or offers workshops, readings, or lectures. Adelina teaches teatro within community and university settings.
