Red Salmon Arts Presents

Embodied Histories: A Reading of Old and New Works

Special Guests To Be Announced

The space and time of our embodied histories are always here and now — in our coming together, our common survival, our disloyal scholarship, our remembering the future. Brown. Queer. Writers. Historians. Friends. We invite you.

Kimberly Alidio is a high school teacher, a tenure-track dropout and the author of a poetry collection, After projects the resound (Black Radish, 2016) and a chapbook, solitude being alien (dancing girl press, 2013). Born in West Baltimore and raised in Baltimore County, Maryland, she lives in East Austin, Texas.

A Chicana queer feminista and educator, Lilia Rosas is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but has resided in the southside and eastside of Austin, Texas for over a two decade. She is the Executive Director of the nonprofit Red Salmon Arts and caretaker of Resistencia Bookstore, which are dedicated to Chican@/x, Latin@/x, and indigenous cultural arts programming and serving the communities of Austin and Central Texas. She also holds a Ph.D. in history and is a adjunct professor at St. Edward’s University.

This project is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department. Visit Austin at NowPlayingAustin.com.
