FLAWA at the Southbank Centre

We’re excited to be part of ‘You Belong Here’, at the Southbank Centre’s summer season of events exploring identity, inclusivity and belonging Three days full of activities on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of August.

This event is part of a weekend showcasing the diversity of the Latin American artistic community through music, performances and new proposals, inviting audiences to engage with this versatile culture.

Tradition gives origin to new trends; new generations embrace their roots and combine them with the perspectives gained from growing up in a multicultural hectic city like London. 

Friday 2nd of August: Latinas Presentes

This event, featuring DJ La Jeva, dancer Luanda Pau and musicians Imperio Bamba, gives a platform to the often unseen and underrepresented creativity that belongs to the streets of this busy city.

Saturday 3rd August – LatinXtravaganzza:
This weekend showcases music, performances, and launch of new collection of Anciela London, inviting audiences to engage with artwork by new generations of LatinX artists. Music from Gloria Exilio, pioneering event series established in 1996, DJ G has been instrumental in providing a safe, festive space for the LGBTQ+ Latinx community and lovers of tropical crossover music. Venezuelan musician Luzmira Zerpa and closing the night with amazing Popola, spotlights the rich diversity of London’s Queer LatinX & Afro-Caribbean diasporic communities.

Sunday 4th August – ¡Aquí Estamos! We Are Here!

What does it mean to be a Latin American woman in London? What issues arise from being labelled as Latinas? Drawing inspiration from oral traditions, performance art, storytelling, and live music, this performance aims to challenge and transform the conventional narratives about women from the Abya Yala, and redefine how we relate to and identify within the city of London.

Featuring: Somos Chibchas, DJ Kira and Las Witchas Collective.
