Since 1975, La Peña Cultural Center has been a central site for Latinx, Caribbean, and Indigenous diasporic communities of the Bay Area to preserve and celebrate cultural traditions, present new interdisciplinary creative works, and to nurture grassroots social justice movements with artists, activists, and allies. Our founding as a “peña”—or place offering music, food, and political support to cultures of resistance in South America in the 1960s-70s—has guided our program of challenging dominant narratives and centering marginalized positions for nearly fifty years, and we proudly stand as the last such “peña” still in existence today.
