MAKE Literary Productions is proud to present the sixth annual Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art October 12-19, 2019, at venues throughout Chicago.  The only US cultural festival to feature Mexican writers, Lit & Luz fosters the creation of new art through international collaboration and essential dialogues between residents of Mexico and the United States. This year’s festival theme, “Movement,” asks the participants and audience to consider migration, social movements, and bodies in motion. This year’s festival features more than a dozen free bilingual events, including conversations, film screenings, live storytelling, and much more. Award-winning Mexican American author Luis Alberto Urrea will present the festival’s inaugural keynote address at the Chicago Cultural Center on Sunday, October 13 at 3 PM. The festival’s closing event is on Saturday, October 19, when the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago partners to present the Live Magazine Show from 6-8pm. The “Live Magazine Show” is a ticketed program in which paired Mexico- and US-based participants debut their multimedia creative collaborations.  For a full schedule of events, visit litluz.org.
