Santo Domingo


RHYTHM & RUINS / Cabaret Series

Las Ruinas de San Francisco [La Tocada de los Domingos]

4PM

What brings individuals together, the constitution of the commons, takes many diverse forms. Signification and memory, symbolism and tradition, music and dance are some of the spaces of cultural and visceral togetherness that constitute public life. What are the contemporary forms of collectivity? How are we able to learn from past spaces and move into the future?

 

This event was free and open to the public.
