Join Viver Brasil for a public presentation funded by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs highlighting Viver Brasil's Samba in the Streets Social Justice Series featuring a video culmination and dialogue of our 6 week series of Bloco Afro dance and music with 20 LA City womxn residents and their teachers Clarice Cast, VB Music Director, and Vera Passos, VB Associate Artistic Director. Blocos afro are Afro-Bahian carnival groups who in the 1970s created new forms of music and dance expression which raised awareness and expressed truths of Brazil's history of racism and social inequity of Black peoples and culture.

In the past, we've done a yearly trip to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil with our Dancing at the Source program. Since that is not possible right now, we are trying to come up with alternative offerings and we would love your input.
