ABOUT Aideed Medina
Aideed Medina
En el pulso vivo de abril, cuando la poesía florece en cada rincón de Estados Unidos, el Cabaret del Teatro Brava en San Francisco se prepara para una tarde de Indómitas que promete mucho.
Este mes alzamos la voz para celebrar a quienes escriben desde la raíz, desde la memoria, desde la lucha. Este Mes Nacional de la Poesía, entrevistamos a una voz imprescindible: Aideed Medina, Séptima Poeta Laureada de Fresno.
Su escritura honra el esfuerzo y las luchas de quienes trabajan en los campos, mientras visibiliza su fortaleza, su resistencia y sus enormes contribuciones.
Su obra ha aparecido en diversas publicaciones, producciones teatrales y murales. Es autora de *31 Hummingbird* (Editorial Xingao), *Segmented Bodies* (Prickly Pear Publishing) y de un *chapbook* binacional —una selección de poemas de *Segmented Bodies* y *Salmos de la Sierra Madre*—, realizado en colaboración con Aziz Córdova (Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, México).
Ven y escucha en vivo una voz indómita, generosa y profundamente humana.
ENGLISH
Amidst the vibrant pulse of April—when poetry blossoms in every corner of the United States—the Brava Theater Cabaret in San Francisco prepares for an afternoon of *Indómitas* that promises to be truly remarkable.
This month, we raise our voices to celebrate those who write from the roots, from memory, and from the struggle. For this National Poetry Month, we interview an indispensable voice: Aideed Medina, the seventh Poet Laureate of Fresno.
Her writing honors the labor and struggles of those who work in the fields, while bringing into focus their strength, their resilience, and their immense contributions.
Her work has appeared in various publications, theatrical productions, and murals. She is the author of *31 Hummingbird* (Editorial Xingao), *Segmented Bodies* (Prickly Pear Publishing), and a binational chapbook—a selection of poems drawn from *Segmented Bodies* and *Salmos de la Sierra Madre*—produced in collaboration with Aziz Córdova (Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Mexico).
Come and hear, live, a voice that is indomitable, generous, and profoundly human.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
