Artists that embraced Chicana/o identities at that time addressed pressing social justice concerns such as educational and economic inequality\, farmworker rights\, and other forms of state violence and oppression in the United States. \n\n\n\nThe oral tradition of spoken word in music or storytelling has been the way that our history and culture has endured and persevered. Poetry is an extension of that oral tradition and is the sister spirit of music. It gives voice to our struggles and allows us to work towards a collective consciousness for our gente as we maintain our cultural identity and fight for political power and place in an ever-changing world. Poets continue to be the voice of our community. \n\n\n\nCo-Hosted By\n\n\n\n\n\nAlma Rosa Azul is a Chicana spoken word poet\, community organizer\, and mother. She is the co-founder of Barrio Fuerza located in Downtown San Bernardino\, host of Barrio Poetry Club Open Mic\, and Facilitator behind Word Blossom writing hour..She considers herself a self taught and community based poet and deeply believes that poetry should belong to the poor\, the everyday person\, and all of humanity. She is Alma Rosa Azul. A name in three parts to braid and then tie at the end with a poem.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Poets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJag Arreola is a hip-hop artist from Fontana\, California (Unsurrendered Kizh land). He is a survivor of the police retaliation & wrongful incarceration that happened to him and 7 others in San Bernardino County\, dubbed the “Justice 8”. The content in his music highlights a strong commitment to sobriety\, militant decolonization & the push for liberation for all marginalized peoples from a Chicano indigenous perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSammy is a Mexican-American educator\, poet\, spoken word artist\, and zine queen from the San Gabriel Valley. She has reached many new stages with her recent comeback to poetry writing on topics such as feminism\, racism\, working with children\, mental health\, love\, and heartbreak. She’s been eagerly making a name for herself by placing 1st place in both the OC Poetry Slam in October and Pomona Slam in December. Sammy is currently working on her manuscript for her debut poetry collection\, Empty Fields of Sunflowers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAngela Aguirre is a Chicana writer\, speaker\, and teacher from Pasadena\, California.

Six artists from the Inland Empire—Maurice Howard\, Lisa Loudin\, Adeola Davies\, Deborah McDuff\, Kayren Lyle\, and Ellen Finan—were invited to participate in the workshop\, which was funded by a California Creative Corps grant through the Inland Empire Community Foundation. \n\n\n\nUsing RAM’s printing presses\, Hoyes introduced participants to the environmentally conscious technique of electrolyte etching\, which uses saltwater and six volts of electricity (instead of toxic acids) to etch plates. Each of the participating artists curated and produced an edition\, which they then signed and numbered. \n\n\n\nThe final portfolio\, which is displayed here\, showcases each artist’s unique perspective on the themes of environment\, social justice\, and civic engagement. Their works not only reflect vital conversations taking place among contemporary artists in Inland California but also demonstrate how innovative processes can support environmental responsibility in artistic practice. By providing access to its two printing presses for this workshop\, RAM continues its role as a creative laboratory for working artists in the community. \n\n\n\nArtists featured: Maurice Howard\, Lisa Loudin\, Adeola Davies-Aiyeloja\, Deborah McDuff\, Kayren E. Lyle and Ellen Finan.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Maurice Howard\, Ancestor Freedom\, 2024.

This workshop welcomes everyone interested in connecting with this beautiful cultural expression. \n\n\n\nBe part of a tradition that has united communities for generations. We ask that folks stay for the full 3 hours.  \n\n\n\nOpen to all ages and experience levels. Bring any instruments you’d like to share in the musical conversation. Let’s create music together!
