Pero esta vez la escribe con su familia y las visiones son contradictorias. Una inmersión en las entrañas de una familia marcada por la fiesta, la música y la comunalidad. Encouraged by his daughter and with a broken voice, Jaime Luna (Uncle Yim) –indigenous philosopher, social leader and singer songwriter–, composes a new song about his tumultuous life after 15 years of silence. But this time he will do it with his family, so the memories and interpretations are contradictory and painful. Uncle Yim is an immersion in the identity of a peculiar family shaped by tradition, music and communality. Living Arts was organized in 1969 for the development and presentation of contemporary art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are interested in newly evolving ideas, in the creation of art forms, in exploring the relationship of art to other disciplines and fields of knowledge and in sharing its interests with the community by encouraging the public to attend and participate in creative workshops, performances, exhibitions, films, demonstrations of current art, lectures, related educational activities and research. We consider art as a basic and functional essential to each person’s full development. Living Arts strives to help create an environment in which art may thrive. We are aware, informed and actively participate in cultural history-in-the-making.
