"We are made of earth. We are made of sky. We are made of words."
-Gabriel Mistral
This month, Corazón, Cultura, Comunidad: A Celebration of Latine Voices embraces those words with three powerful stories. Our storytellers explore the joys and challenges of teaching and learning, moving through grief while holding on to self, and being faced with another impossible decision in November - all from their Latiné point of view.
About 2nd Story’s "Point of View'' Programming
Given the nature of 2nd Story's work and the diversity of artists we collaborate with, we have the unique opportunity to build community among and share the stories of folks who share a particular identity or circumstance by building teams for our shows that share a particular point of view. It is our honor to be a conduit for these collaborations. Corazón, Cultura, Comunidad: A Celebration of Latine Voices is entirely created and produced by Latine artists.

““There is just something so humane about a 2nd Story show. The emotions from story to story run the gamut—fear, joy, grief, celebration, surprise, insight, irony, humor. But running through all of them is this endearing and enduring sense of humanity, unshaded by a commercial angle or necessity, just civil, thoughtful, and always memorable.””
““We know that 2nd Story events are always going to be good.””
“I don’t know the last time I didn’t look at my phone for two hours.”
