What does "Libre Enganche" mean?

Well, libre means free. Enganche means a connection or some device hitching things together. Indeed, this festival is a device encouraging a free partnership beetween artists of mexican descent from both sides of the border. The festival is a series of performances and visual art exhibitions that challenge and contradict old and new forms of repression and exploitation.

Una vez más La Ce.D colabora con Jump-Start Performance Co. para este encuentro bienal con una muestra de video de artistas mexicanos, una exhibición de artes visuales asi como la documentación en video y fotografía realizado por Victor Martínez y Sakino.

Jump-Start Performance Co. and the Festival de Libre Enganche are funded, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Texas Commission on the Arts, the Office of Cultural Affairs, City of San Antonio, the Kronkosky Foundation, CONACULTA, and individual members and donors. The performances of Raquel Araujo y La Rendija and The Alamo Piece, are supported by the Inroads Program developed and managed by Arts Internationsl, a division of the Institute of International Education. Inroads is made possible through the Internationalizing New Work in the Performing Arts initiative of the Ford Foundation.
