PLU Presents featuring Latin American Poets

No longer bound by the shackles of proximity, PLU Presents reaches all the way to South America in this, our seventh edition.

The spice of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico arrives on the PLU stage with song, dance, and fire. Tenderly curated by César Eduardo, this showcase highlights the vitality of international performers and the beauty of the Spanish language. Special thanks to Tomás Mizrahi, Nicolás Linares, Emma Robles aka Urpichallay, Vinkee QP, Eréndira CB, and Ivan Vergara aka Arde Trinidad, for bringing us so much soul, flair, and beauty.

Tomás Mizrahi open for the Latin American poets with a passionate performance.

After many weeks of increasingly intricate video art, this video marks a return to the story, with several artists getting vulnerable, building characters, and taking them along a journey. Consider the narratives shared by Ursula Wynne or Nick Calderbank. Both are moving journeys, shot plainly and cleanly - no tricks, just emotion.

It’s an incredible moment of artistic bounty - none of our poetic forbears had so many choices.
