Performers travel through the Festival streets adorned in intricate sculptural costumes created by the artist that make their bodies simultaneously anonymous and hyper-visible. Using the archetype of the traveler and creative representations of mother nature, this performance humanizes the experience of the immigrant and celebrates the power and beauty of nature. Hoesy Corona is a Latinx Queer artist who has been exploring climate migration in work created over the last decade.
