"leave the room" is a shared evening of works by gender non-conforming, genderqueer, non-binary, womyn, and trans artists of color. It will feature works by Marble Jumbo Radio, Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo, Jasmine Hearn and Luis Lara Malvacías / 3RD CLASS CITIZEN.

Organized and curated by trans-disciplinary artist Luis A Lara Malvacías, the evening continues the interest of this artist in presenting interdisciplinary works that stir, excite, and ask questions about social and political issues, contemporary creation, and artistic processes. In 2003 Luis A created the Latino American Dance Not Festival Project, prompted by the question What is it to be a Latin immigrant artist living and making work in New York? It has evolved into the NOT FESTIVAL project, and its interdisciplinary offerings deal with a larger range of social and aesthetic concerns. 

The title of the evening is based on a short text that Luis A wrote for the solo Me an Idiot (2016) Read at the beginning of the performances, it asks the audience to think about their position on racism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of intolerance and, based on that, to decide to stay to see the show or to "leave the room".
