Austin Arts Foundation (Austin AF)’s Los Artículos: Dejar Huella Juntos is three-day celebration of Latinx creativity and culture in East Austin, taking place from September 12-14, 2024, at Motion Media Arts Center (MMAC). This year's theme emphasizes the lasting impact of Hispanic and Latino/a/x/é artists, inviting artists and community members to unite in a vibrant celebration of diverse cultures through visual arts, music, dance, literature, film, and multimedia projects. Inspired by the iconic film Blood In, Blood Out, written by Jimmy Santiago Baca, which celebrates its 31st anniversary, this event underscores the importance of creating enduring art that challenges cultural boundaries and leaves a lasting impact on society.
