We Stand in Solidarity with the Black Community. FUNDarte stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and with black communities around the world. We condemn systemic racism, injustice, and inequality present in our communities in the United States and internationally. As an organization dedicated to Latinx artists, we are committed to fighting all forms of hate, xenophobia, and exclusion. We know that until these inherent inequities are rooted out, our work and the ability of black and afro-Latinx artists to thrive locally, nationally and worldwide won\u2019t be manifest. Embedded in our mission is the support for black and afro-Latinx artists in Miami and across the expanse of Latin America and the Caribbean and beyond, and FUNDarte understands that the racial inequities that exist in these communities have negatively impacted too many of the artists we call our own.
\nTo honor those currently fighting for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of racism in our communities, we will be highlighting the performances of black and afro-Latinx artists from the United States, and the Caribbean who we have presented in past seasons.<\/p>\n
