The Equilibrium series connects recognized spoken word artists from around the nation with powerful local voices. The series also pays tribute to established artists who have pioneered spoken word art in our community over the years. Equilibrium is dedicated to showcasing voices of people of color, indigenous artists, and other marginalized communities. Passionate interaction with the audience… tears, cheers, bringing people to their feet… are all part of the experience!

Pababristas is a Minnesota-based collective of Chican@s/Latin@s who affirm and celebrate the arts, culture and identity through the written and spoken word. More information at www.palabristas.com.


Hope to see you all then!
