BIENVENIDX A PAOSAR (Poets action of solidarity and resistance) - Te Veo Bolivia
You are invited to a poetry fundraiser in solidarity and support of the indigenous, black and queer communities of Bolivia. A military coup was initiated by the far right on the 21st of October 2019. Evo Morales stepped down as president and is currently in asylum in Mexico.
After the votes came out in favor of Evo, the far right responded with violence announcing that "Pachamama will never return to a burnt palace. Now Bolivia is of Christ".
Bolivia has 9% of lithium. Latin America's history has been and continues to be bloody at the hands of US imperialism extracting precious resources and destroying indigenous land and its people. Indigenous people make 5% of the world population and protect the bio diversity of the land and by extension the whole earth.
This night intends to illuminate what is happening in Bolivia and Latin America right now.
Presenting a line up of poets who's work challenges thought, talks about identity, and who we at The Chateau commend. We are honored to have these people bring their work and time to this space.
POETS:
Olivia Douglass
Tanaka Fuego

This is a grassroots creative queer space and we do our best to make sure people are looked after, enjoying themselves and kept safe.

If at any point you don't feel entirely safe you can speak to the bar staff and security. We are all good night out trained and want you to have a good experience.
