“My art is radical... and that’s what makes it unapologetically and beautifully mine.” Meet @samoraperdida (2015 Theater & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts). In 2024, Samora was named a YoungArts Fellow and continued developing bilingual musical, “SPANGLISH SH!T,” a fantastical reimagining of queer immigrant children’s linguistic tribulations in the United States, inspired by oral histories, research, and her own lived experience. Samora will be presenting SPANGLISH SH!T during a Baryshnikov Arts Artist Lab. Learn more @baryshnikovartscenter. This film was directed and produced by @mackiemallison (2018 YoungArts Winner in Film) (fb)
