FLAWA: ¡Aquí Estamos! We Are Here!
Come and dance to the rhythm of the drums, closing a fantastic weekend of Latin American artistry with live music, DJs and more.
Curated in collaboration with FLAWA, this weekend showcases the diversity of the Latin American artistic community through music, performances and new proposals, inviting audiences to engage with this versatile culture.
Tradition gives way to new trends; new generations embrace their roots and combine them with the perspectives gained from growing up in a multicultural hectic city like London.
This event gives a platform to the often unseen and underrepresented creativity that begins in the streets of this busy city.
In collaboration with FLAWA
FLAWA is an organisation that works to give visibility to and celebrate art created by women (cisgender, queer, non binary).
They strive to create multidisciplinary events for anyone interested in the many angles and trajectories of Latin American culture.
This summer, we're collaborating with a range of London-based collectives and organisations to curate the Riverside Terrace stage in response to the theme of our season, You Belong Here, enabling these collaborators to welcome different audiences and recognise how they want and choose to belong here at the Southbank Centre.
