Breaking Boundaries in Flamenco Symposium
Oberlin College Campus
March 13-16, 2019

A symposium featuring international guest artists & speakers breaking conceptual and cultural boundaries. This weekend of interdisciplinary performances, presentations, and dialogue centers on experimental flamenco across the Americas. It focuses on the socio-political and economic resources that shape flamenco as a globalized and commercialized form, and the creative and cultural frameworks artists currently utilize to resist social and economic limitations. The event aims to generate new perspectives on the underlying political structures shaping flamenco, and diversify Oberlin’s cultural offerings for students and the community.

Sponsored by the following Oberlin College departments: Dance, Politics, GSFS, Hispanic Studies, and Ethnomusicology, as well as The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant for the Oberlin Center for Languages and Cultures and The Ellen Johnson Fund for Contemporary Art and the Dean of Students
