Borderlands of Art and Activism: A Conversation with Jackelin Treviño

Ocu-Pasión

Capítulo 71: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión, I had the pleasure of hosting Jackelin Treviño, whose life journey is a testament to the power of art and social justice. Raised in the vibrant U.S./Mexico borderlands, Jackelin's upbringing served as the catalyst for her unwavering commitment to both the arts and social impact.

Jackelin's repertoire includes being a dancer, activist, herbalist, yoga instructor, and theater maker. She is the driving force behind Pluma Blanca Community Theater, a remarkable endeavor that showcases her dedication to community engagement through the arts. Throughout our conversation, we delved into the significance of access to the arts, the intersection of social justice and artistic expression, and the inspiring story of how she founded Pluma Blanca Community Theater.

One of the most captivating aspects of our discussion was the tale of how Jackelin brought the iconic "Rocky Horror Picture Show" to the borderlands. Her passion for breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity through the arts was palpable, emphasizing the transformative power of creativity in bridging divides.
