Another Protest Song: Karaoke!

by Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere

Department of Transformation (DOT) and The Clemente are thrilled to announce our next Karaoke Practice! at The Francis Kite Club on May 1, 2025. In this ongoing series of experimental and participatory gatherings, collective voice, performance, and transformation take center stage.

For this International Workers Day edition of Karaoke Practice!, interdisciplinary artist duo Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere invite your participation in Another Protest Song: Karaoke, a series of experimental events that look to the karaoke songbook as potential for political enunciation through song. First initiated in 2008, this ongoing project invites the public to choose and sing songs of protest, along with pop songs re-contextualized to support the singer’s engaged interests or dislikes.

Karaoke Practice! and Another Protest Song: Karaoke are organized by DOT and presented in partnership with The Clemente as part of HISTORIAS, their multidisciplinary citywide initiative to foreground Latinx narratives in the arts.
