Who are we? What is an Epicentro?

Hey all, these were some questions I came up with a long time ago when I was writing an article about the epicentros (quien sabe donde quedo...) I thought it might get this site started a little. Just start writing what you can and you can come back to it later and add more. Just click on comments below to respond.

Tell me a little about your background.

Where did you grow up and what was it like growing up there? (as a Central American?)

How did you hear about the Epicentros?

What made you want to get involved?

What school do you go to & what do you study?or if no school where do you work?

What is important about this group? what makes it unique?

Where have you performed or published and what was it like?

What are your plans, or the groups plans for the future? What would you like to see the group do?

Anything else you want to add?

Any other questions you would like asked?

Reunited and it feels so good

Welcome To EpiCentroAmerica

Bienvenidos al Blog de artistas, poetas, escritores, locos/as centroamericanos /as en el web.

From the center of America erupts Epicentro: an organic literary collective straddling performance, spoken word and testimonial artforms, composed of inter-generational community-minded cultural activists of Central American extraction that write to resurrect memory and inspire action. These Central American bodies in flux and immigrant voices rise from Hollywood bus stops, volcanic ashes, quetzal wings, peripheral MacArthur Park, Mission pupuserias and more. Epicentro is a land of creation; it exists beyond physical boundaries. You don't join Epicentro vos sos Epicentro!
