About Aurora Levins Morales

Aurora Levins Morales is a Puerto Rican author, artist, activist, and historian. Her writing and activism persistently imagine a world in which the personal is understood as political and vice versa, the complexities of identity and heritage are explored rather than erased, and structures of oppression (racism, classism, sexism, imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, etc.) are recognized as interlocking, such that they must be simultaneously challenged to be dismantled. Her contributions have been critical to third wave feminism and its evolution, Puerto Rican and Latinx feminism, disability justice, radical Judaism, climate change activism, and grassroots organizing.

World Premiere of Resurrection
In honor of our guest, we are excited to share the world premiere of Resurrection, an inspiring new work by composer Nancy Galbraith, based on a powerful poem by Aurora Levins Morales. We commissioned Nancy, head of the Composition Department at Carnegie Mellon University, to create this piece especially for our community. In addition to our choir, she scored it for piano and string quartet.
