Welcome to LA FERIA 2023 Festival of Latin American Arts & Culture.
I feel extremely proud of the LUMA Creations team and what we have brought together for this year’s LA FERIA Festival; A vibrant and eclectic programme of music, dance, storytelling, street arts, culture and food from the rich and wondrous diversity of the Latin American Continent. We have curated a programme of amazing artists to represent the wealth of diversity in Latin America.
This year we are thrilled to become an NPO for Arts Council England and join the Liverpool City Council CAIP programme, enabling us to expand our reach and bring some of the most influential internationally touring Latin American artists to our city.
We have also put a community tour together to bring Latin American arts to communities across the city region, ensuring people who have not seen or experienced the rich diversity of Latin America’s arts & culture have a chance to do so in their own spaces.
This year our theme is identity, highlighting the lack of Latin American representation in many areas of British society. The Latin American community has worked hard to become visible, striving to be recognised as a community that has given much to the UK, and we present our festival showcasing the wealth and breadth of Latin America, its culture and its people.
Welcome to LA FERIA 2023. Join us and enjoy our beautiful and richly diverse cultures.
