In a year that’s been especially tough on immigrants, the arts can foster a sense of community that provides relief. Hairpin Arts Center is rising to the occasion with the monthlong LatinxArts festival, featuring free workshops, exhibitions, and performances—among them, the one-night-only Movements: A Show of Work by Three Immigrant Dancemakers.
In all, Movements “encourages the audience to look at each choreographer’s work with fresh eyes considering the ongoing national debate around the value of contributions by immigrants to our society,” says Hairpin’s performing arts director Kacie Smith. This free program makes it easy to discover the beauty that emerges when immigrants have the opportunity to create works that speak to their specific experience.
