RSVP & Tickets HERE!

The Clemente will host artist, writer, and performer Denice Frohman; director and co-creator Alex Torra; and projection and set designer Nia Benjamin in a micro-residency to produce Esto No Tiene Nombre, a one-woman show that chronicles the oral histories of Latina lesbian elders. Curated by Jacqueline Woodson, renowned author and 2020 MacArthur Fellow, the play presents a tapestry of vignettes exploring Latina lesbian activism, expression, and desire, from pre-Stonewall police raids in Philadelphia to first kisses. The title is inspired by Esto No Tiene Nombre, the first Latina lesbian magazine, founded in the 1990s by Colombian poet and activist Tatiana de la Tierra.

This work is rooted in archival interviews conducted by Frohman as part of I See My Light Shining: Oral Histories of Our Elders, a year-long project featuring more than 20 oral history interviews from Latina lesbian elders in New York City.
