Anthony is a Xicana-Indigena Lesbian multi-disciplinary artist. Her work addresses colonization, feminism, trauma, memory, gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, in/migration, health, land/environment, and issues generally affecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and two-spirited communities.

“La Angry Xicana?!” is Adelina’s new, full-length stand-up comedy, featuring her trademark salacious, brazen, Spanglish humor and flirts with all kinds of cultural taboos.

“La Angry Xicana?!” weaves together critiques on
Hollywood, the U.S. corporate media, purported lesbian gang epidemics, The L Word, conservative politics, LGBT community health issues, religious icons, post-welfare life, and the semi-sacred courtship that happens only among queer womyn of color.More importantly, using comedy as a weapon of choice, the show examines possible sources of contemporary and historical anger among womyn of color.

Refreshments will be served.

Sponsored by Campus Progress, UT-Austin Queer People of Color and Allies, and the UT-Austin Gender and Sexuality Center.

This event is free and open to the public.
