La Pocha Nostra with Christen Clifford
La Pocha Nostra’s “Phantom Mariachi” is a participatory public performance that speaks up against the forces of gentrification and the erasure of complex identities in urban settings. This interactive and roving persona is a symbolic inhabitant of the past, present and future of all “creative cities”- gone wrong. Keep your eyes out for the Phantom and please take a photo together!

About the Artist(s)
Founded by Guillermo Gómez-Peña and Artistically Co-Directed with Balitronica, La Pocha Nostra is a transdisciplinary arts organization & 501-c3 non-profit that provides a support network and forum for artists of various disciplines, generations, gender complexities and ethnic backgrounds. La Pocha is devoted to erasing the borders between art and politics, art practice and theory, artist and spectator. For 36 years, LPN has intensely focused on the notion of collaboration across national borders, race, gender and generations as an act of radical citizen diplomacy and as a means to create “ephemeral communities” of rebel artists.
