The 2022 edition will feature a diverse program and line-up that supports research-informed practices, and performances of Latin American artists, scholars, and its diasporas. The festival experience experiments with creating hybrid events that engage our growing community all over the world. With a deeper emphasis on migration, mobility, community, and kinship, this year RSLA collaborates with artistic collectives and initiatives such as Cosmoaudiciones, Soy Division, and SAVVY Contemporary; where different communities of migrant artists, activists, and researchers are invited to build on dialogues of mutual support, solidify connections through understanding of diasporic movements, sharing food, ancestral and kinship ties, while contending with issues of repressed histories, and impact of Western colonialism.
With the support of partners and venues like Cashmere Radio, TAK Berlin, Ufer Studios, Refuge Worldwide, HÖR, Panke and Arkaoda, a number of vibrant neighborhoods and nightlife communities in Berlin are activated, where we continue to discover spaces of exchange through workshops, ideas about music, club culture, and more.
This year’s festival extends to six days, and will continue its role as a discourse platform and significant collaborative endeavor to present the latest in Latin American music, theory, and performance.
