Under the artistic direction of Miguel Rojas-Sotelo (for a second year), the Festival is gaining ground on community exchange and participation throughout the Americas.

All Festival activities are FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Save the dates and be ready to experience a visual and cultural immersion in the stories of the Americas.
