What We Do!
Rooted in Story. Growing Through Culture.
At Raíces, our mission is
grounded in six core commitments:
2. Honoring Cultural Roots: We produce work rooted in cultural tradition, history and truth— giving depth to heritage and identity.
1. Centering Marginalized Voices: We prioritize stories from communities historically excluded from mainstream media— especially women, kids, LGBTIQ+ community, immigrants and people of color.
3. Empowering through Storytelling: We believe storytelling is a form of healing, resistance, and connection—capable of transforming pain into purpose.
4. Elevating Emerging Artists: We provide a platform for new talent in theatre and film— particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.
5. Fostering Collaboration & Community: Our productions are built through partnership, transparency and meaningful engagement, with the communities we represent.
6. Driving Social Change: We use art to challenge harmful narratives, inspire dialogue and promote empathy, equity, and justice.
LOOKING AHEAD…
We aim to develop regional and national tours that bring our stories to underserved communities, launch international initiatives for cultural exchange, partner with schools and nonprofits to co-create locally rooted work, host storytelling workshops, and build impact campaigns that extend our reach and dialogue across borders. Together, these values shape every story we tell.
