Meet Kali Coochis!
Remaining just beyond the colonizer’s clutches, Kali Coochis is somehow still here. From the heights of the most brutal mesa at Hopi and Dinehtah, to the filthy gutters of this gentrified cow town she’s always called home, Kali is calm like a glittering bomb. Marking the anniversary of her return to the stage after a FOURTEEN YEAR HIATUS, Kali is ragged with grief and thundering with rage. The love of their community, ancestors and children are the driving force for continuing to stay lit in this hellscape, desperately creating and witnessing the pain and joy of others. This piece is dedicated to Mimi Madrid and those who have survived his untimely departure 9 months ago. He lived for Liberation of all oppressed beings with Love and Fierceness. This week they would’ve been 38 years young.
