| “Liberation mythologies” is Raquel’s working term to explore the intersections between artistic practice, spiritual belief and grassroots activism. In her talk, “Liberation Mythologies: Quests for Roots, Spirit and Justice in Afro-Puerto Rican, Afro-Dominican and Mexican Music and Dance” she will focus on the “dreams of freedom” at the root of myth-making and look at myths not as stories or beliefs that are (necessarily) untrue but as tropes that poetically attempt to explain or get us closer to the unexplainable, and most importantly, as tropes that give individuals and communities the strength to keep crafting and pursuing their dreams of freedom. |
