UNBOUND:
a performance ritual

UNBOUND is a performance ritual and community-powered project that honors the Genízaro people and uplifts their legacies. Genízaros were Native people of many tribes, often women and children, who were captured and forced into slave labor during the Spanish colonization of present-day New Mexico. Their stories are often left out of a contemporary understanding of New Mexican history.

The director Sarah Hogland-Gurulé and collaborating artists Lupita Salazar and Gabriel Carrion-Gonzales are all descendants of Genízaros and have created UNBOUND as a loving offering to their ancestors. They worked intimately with historical research, family stories, conversations with other descendants, generational memory and embodied research to create a visceral and informative experience.

They hope UNBOUND will offer healing and empowerment to other descendants while also educating broader communities from a heart centered place about a history that is often left out of textbooks.

An optional Q&A and reflection circle will take place immediately after the performance.
