I have been accepted to participate in a 7-day workshop
intensive with La Pocha Nostra in Tucson Arizona this August.
La Pocha Nostra are a San Francisco based "trans-disciplinary
arts organization" and I will be collaborating and performing
alongside experimental performance artists, theorists, activists
and students from all over the world!.
I am seeking some help with workshop and accommodation costs
while I am there. This is an amazing opportunity to challenge my
art making process and learn from some renowned performance
artists.
Thanks!

LA POCHA NOSTRA
La Pocha is devoted to erasing the borders between art and
politics, art practice and theory, artist and spectator. La Pocha
Nostra has intensely focused on the notion of collaboration across
national borders, race, gender and generations as an act of radical
citizen diplomacy and as a means to create temporary communities of
rebel artists.
Every year, La Pocha conducts a summer and a winter performance
art school in which Pocha's radical pedagogy (a performance
methodology that has been developed during the last 10 years) is
shared with an international group of rebel artists.
La Pocha Nostra has presented work across the US, Canada,
Mexico, Latin America, Europe, Russia, Australia and South Africa.
In recent years, the troupe has presented work at Tate Modern
(London), and the Guggenheim Museum (New York).
