La Luchadora is a performance that mobilizes the symbolic power that the paletero has in latina/e/o/x and chicanx/a/e/o communities and subverts the militarization and fear that undocumented individuals live with every day. It is about creating a space of agency for individuals, by bringing Know Your Rights information in a way that is accessible and familiar.


La Luchadora was developed in collaboration with Palteria Oasis in Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Dreamers Project and as part of the Story Maps Fellowship at the Santa Fe Art Institute. La Luchadora was performed in El Paso, TX. and in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM.
