The main performance event was held at the Museum of Human Achievement on May 3, along with the panel discussion on Latinidad, tradition, and experimentation. Guest lectures by Matt Steinke and Efraín Rozas were held at the University of Texas at Austin on April 24 and May 2.

We curated collaborations between the following teams of traditional music/dance groups with multimedia artists/electronic composers:

  • Waché and Matt Steinke

Additionally, the event featured performances by artists exploring these tensions within their work:
