🪶🥁☀️Come experience this beautiful, colorful, and cultural performance by The Calmecac Indigenous Organization at The Children’s Museum. 9/23/23. Audience members will learn about Aztec history, philosophy, language, culture and foods that deliver a new way of looking at the world through Indigenous eyes. These concepts are expressed within the symbolism of movements, storytelling, drumming and songs. Audience’s senses are delighted with colorful feathered headpieces, the sounds of conch shells and shaking rattles, combined with the deep sound of the drums and high pitched ocarina flutes. These dances are based on the Pre-Columbian traditions of the Nahuatl-speaking Teotihuacanos/ Mexi’ca, and other indigenous nations of central Mexico, including the Otomi/ Chichimeca nations of Queretaro. We hope to see you there!

Calmecac Indigenous Organization took this year's Neighborhoods, Identity, and Diversity (NID) project to new heights with their workshops and performances in Houston's Near Northside community!  Our Arts Partner offered exhibitions of Aztec dance at schools throughout the neighborhood, led workshops in a communal arts space to teach Indigenous storytelling and dance, and even conducted a residency in one middle school that shared the history, significance, and steps of Aztec dance with students. Participants learned to reflect on the meaning of tradition and how art can transmit culture and ideas from generation to generation. This program is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. 🪶@HoustonAztec 🤝@NEAarts #NID2023 #ArtsEd #NearNorthside #CompleteCommunities #EveryChild #ArtsEducation #Community
