LA CALLE! is Carne Viva’s initiative to shift the way arts and education are embedded into our communities' everyday lives. Understanding that our practice forms the community, and the community forms the practice, our collective work in these mediums catapults us into intentional, experiential , and socially activated work with culture at its center. Committed to a constant evolution in the arts, we aim to disrupt the idea that movement is only capable if you are trained. Here we welcome all bodies, all levels, to be intertwined in the magic of artivism. We prove that art is a tool agent for change, allowing folks to become part of our familia through movement, music, and text to activate and uplift our audiences not forgetting that culture is cultivated and found in LA CALLE! 

​BIOGRAPHY: 
Carne Viva Dance Theatre is a Miami and Lenapehoking based collective of artivists de aquí y de allá who believe culture is a portal to liberation and the use of their body is an act of rebellion. Fusing Afro-Cuban influences, social dance, and contemporary forms, their work blends movement, sound, and storytelling to honor collective memory and celebrate their identity. Carne Viva has been featured at Pérez Art Museum in Miami, Judson Memorial Church in NYC, Miami Dances!, and the Latinx Movement Festival, in Washington DC. They have been artists in residence at Mascher Space Cooperative, MOtiVE Brooklyn, and Miami Dade College Kendall Campus as Leaps and Bounds’ Company in Residence. Their current project, Dame La Receta!, explores healing, joy, and cultural preservation with the support from the MAP Fund (2024).​
