Cup of Culture
The Feminist On CellBlock Y
MCC Theater
A convicted felon, Richard Edmond-Vargas, builds a feminist movement from behind bars at an all-male prison in Soledad, California. The movement grew from the education the inmates received by participating in a self-run program, which teaches that to be a “proper man” you don’t have to be emotionless and violent. Post film discussion with Richard Edmond-Vargas himself. 1h 15m
Performance
Rhythm, Rap, and Resistance Rebel Diaz
MCC Theater
Hermanos RodStarz and G1, known as Rebel Diaz, are sons of political refugees from Chile who fled a CIA-funded dictatorship in the 1970s. Revolution raised them, and the culture of Hip-Hop provided them their own Nueva Canción: a genre of music that emerged during the resistance period in Chile. Through rap, Rebel Diaz has been sharing their stories and those of their people; el barrio, the hood, the poor, los inmigrantes. Hip-Hop and a vision for liberation have taken them around the world. Join Rebel Diaz earlier in the day for a workshop on how hip hop can be used as a platform for activism.
