Arts & Culture

In 2008, Cherrie Moraga (playwright), Celia Herrera Rodriguez (InstallationVisual Artist) and Alleluia Panis, (Choreographer) received a $40,000 Bay Area Creative Work Fun, collaborating with San Francisco's Campo Santo Theater. The fund will support a performance work, which is being developed through a "Jornada," in dialogue with (im)migrant/indigenous communities in Arizona, California, and Oregon.  The work revolves  around the theme of women separated from their children and lands of origin through forced migration and violence. The Creative Work Fund is a program of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the James Irvine Foundation.
