melaza: descolonizando historias / decolonizing stories


In 2017, Danza Orgánica premiered the first phase of Melaza. Melaza explored the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States, with a focus on the diasporic experience. The new phase, Decolonizing Stories, is being created with a group of artists based in Puerto Rico to explore what it means to live in a colonial state, with a pre/during/post-Huracán María approach. This new work is being generated within a framework of decolonization, and the need to free the mind, the land, and the spirit.

La nueva fase, Tejiendo Historias, se está creando con un grupo de artistas radicados en Puerto Rico para explorar lo que significa vivir en un estado colonial, con un enfoque pre/durante/post-huracán María. Este nuevo trabajo se está generando dentro de un marco de justicia ambiental, y la necesidad de descolonizar la mente, la tierra y el espíritu.
