In 2001, Lincoln Center set the scene for the first La Casita, a citywide festival celebrating poetry and music, grounded in the principle that New York City is best represented through the artistic traditions of its most underserved communities. For nearly 25 years, La Casita's curators have assembled stellar casts around themes of lineage and heritage, mining tradition and bloodline through the lens of provenance. This year's forward-looking theme is "World of Tomorrow," curated by Daniel Charles Dawson, Gabriel Ramirez, Rich Villar, Mahogany L. Browne, and Claudia Norman. Hosted by seven-time NYC Poetry Slam champion Felicia Cade, the event will include readings from the Guatemalan-Colombian poet Melissa Lozada-Oliva; Indigenous Diné, transdisciplinary, two-spirit poet Demian DinéYazhi; Afro-Latina author Yesenia Montilla; and Bronx-born powerhouse voice Jesica "Sumbodies Mama" Blandon. La Casita also features musical performances from the all-female Colombian music ensemble La Manga and the pan-Latin and Hip-Hop-inspired Cvgebird.
