Marfa Dialogues/Diálogos en Marfa
Politics and Culture of the Border
Marfa, Texas
Inspired by art’s potential to elicit critical conversation and generate new ideas, Ballroom Marfa has launched Marfa Dialogues, an initiative to bring together voices reflective of the many perspectives of our diverse community. Please join us in Marfa for our inaugural event, where we will address some of the pressing and complex issues that confront all of us who live in the border region that joins and divides the United States and Mexico.
Ballroom Marfa and The Washington Spectator, in collaboration with The Big Bend Sentinel, Marfa Public Radio and Marfa Book Company, will present Marfa Dialogues: Politics and Culture of the Border, three days of art, film, music, and literature. Be part of dynamic conversations with leading journalists, including Charles Bowden and Mark Danner, listen to the poetry of writer Benjamin Alire Sáenz, see the border through the eyes of photographer David Taylor, and dance to the genre-bending sounds of L.A. band La Santa Cecilia.

The Marfa Dialogues is funded and supported in part by The Washington Spectator; Kay Taylor Burnett; The Brown Foundation, Inc., Houston; the Texas Commission on the Arts; John Thornton; Fredericka Hunter; and Ballroom Marfa members. Tremendous gratitude to the Thunderbird Hotel for their in-kind support.
