Onda Latina Ohio is a new, DIY initiative to promote Latina creative visibility in Columbus. We are Latinas and allies united to create a safe space for emerging and established writers and artists to showcase both process and product and enjoy mutual encouragement. The primary focus is to sponsor monthly, free open mic events for Latinas and women of other backgrounds who promote women of color feminist cultural production to find their voice and their audience. Associated with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at The Ohio State University, leaders Paloma Martinez-Cruz, Elena Foulis, and Aurélie Vialette saw the need to build an alternative space outside the academy for expression and experimentation. Modeling Onda Latina Ohio on Chicago’s Proyecto Latina, where Martinez-Cruz edited Rebeldes: A Proyecto Latina Anthology (Proyecto Latina, 2013), the group looks forward to celebrating Latina Ohio experiences, and fostering solidarity in diversity.
