What does it mean to move in a time like this?

Join us for an evening at the intersection of artistic movement, wellness, and belonging within Latinx and Hispanic communities as part of the Museum’s yearlong focus on Revolutionary Science.

Through the lens of artistic expression, the program brings together leading artists, organizers, and cultural leaders to explore how dance and movement strengthen both wellness and community, as well as the power of embracing the arts as a vehicle for inclusion and a catalyst for collective action.

From Boston to street dance communities around the world, Dr. Shamell Bell and Eli Pabón will share how the arts become a tool for advocacy, youth leadership, cultural preservation, and radical imagination. This panel invites us to see movement not just as art, but as collective power—and to consider how we, too, can move toward change.

Discussion facilitated by Cristela Guerra, award-winning arts and culture journalist and Regional Manager for the South/Southwest at Report for America.

Following the conversation, the Museum’s Blue Wing turns into a community celebration of Latinx and Hispanic culture, featuring performances and audience demonstrations from the Afro-Latin dance scene, DJ sets, and an open dance floor for all.
