Retratos Migrantes: An Exploration of Freedom, Acceptance, and Belonging at the Intersection of Art and Performance
Angela's projects draw on choreography, Flamenco dance, performance art, traditional indigenous materials, and painting to explore the concepts of freedom, acceptance, and belonging as it relates to the Latina Identity within a Contemporary Flamenco setting. Angela's work exemplifies a process of reawakening of the Latinx roots through an interdisciplinary choreographic process. The materials and design were inspired by Venezuelan artisan techniques and traditional artisan elements of Flamenco Dance.
