Loisaida is very pleased to announce the 2022 expansion the MUJER program to a year-round project from Spring to Fall. Within the recent launch of the LoisaidaTV Media Production Studio, we’ll continue to present an hands-on approach to media literacy and production for gender non-conforming young adults, women and their allies, who might be at the early stage of their professional careers. In the past, the program has been facilitated by local filmmaker Eden Martinez and this year we will have award-winning actress, producer and choreographer María Torres as the program coordinator and lead facilitator.

Registration is now OPEN for Spring 2022. Click here to access registration form.
