When We Win: Eyes of the Rainbow (The Assata Shakur Story)

La Peña Cultural Centerhas been a cornerstone of the Bay Area's Latinx, Caribbean, and Indigenous communities since 1975. We preserve cultural traditions, showcase interdisciplinary creative works, and support grassroots social justice movements alongside artists, activists, and allies. Rooted in the historic "peña" tradition of South America, we challenge dominant narratives and amplify marginalized voices.
