Mayra Flores and Cristal González Ávila honor their roots through poetry. Flores brings the stories of her East San José community. Her self-published debut, Flores, bridges generations towards change. Ávila, a daughter of farmworkers in Watsonville, has written and acted for the stage for the last 15 years. Her stories explore domestic violence and housing injustice, and recent playwriting credits include La Cortina de la Lechuga and Luz: Senior Stories, commissioned by Teatro Vision. On this poetry night, guests can also enjoy MACLA’s exhibit There Are New Suns, an exploration of cultural resilience and gentrification through augmented reality, projection mapping, and cyanotypes.
