THE RADICAL ARTS FRONT - New York City
THE RADICAL ARTS FRONT maintains that the arts are weapons of social change, engaging through Free Jazz, New Music, No Wave, and Post-Punk Song and Poetry as well as revolutionary Performance Art, Theatre and Film. THE RADICAL ARTS FRONT seeks to challenge audiences as much with our art as with our social and political actions. The collective stands in opposition to both arts conventions and right-wing politics; our dissidence calls for a bold egalitarian view of social justice, one that fights greed, racism, prejudice and homophobia. Ours is an agenda that insists on a socialist, feminist, multi-cultural, pro-worker, constantly creative and varied membership, one reflective of our audience and the people's community at large.

ERIKA DAGNINO SOLO. Erika Dagnino poetry
A poetry with moments of nearness and farness between a word that becomes round in the alliterations or scans itself in the internal rhymes. A work in which expression and speaking about expression cross each other, in a succession of plans of fruition in which sight and hearing, reseption and reasoning, are specular: the art, in its making, declaredly talks about itself. A dense and challenging work with a grand strength and energy of voice that frays and lacerates itself in a clear and powerful sound.
