homeLA x Human Resources Schedule 6:30–7:30 PM — Dance Instruction with Jasmine Flores 7:30–9:30 PM — DJ Set + Dance Party with Butchona Tickets $20 — Lesson + Dance Party (6:30 PM entry) $5–$10 — Dance Party Only (7:30 PM entry) homeLA and Human Resources are teaming up for a night of queer cumbia—dance, rhythm, and collective joy—presented in conjunction with Gary “Ganas” Garay’s exhibition, Cumbia de mi tierra at Human Resources. Cumbia has long been a music of migration, memory, and movement—traveling across borders and evolving through community. This special evening brings that spirit to the dance floor, beginning with an all-levels dance lesson by Jasmine Flores followed by a queer cumbia dance party led by Butchona, with DJs Lady Soul and Killed by Synth. Whether you’re new to cumbia or already fluent in the rhythm, this is an invitation to learn, gather, and move together. Part of Cumbia de mi tierra, Gary “Ganas” Garay’s exhibition at Human Resources, this evening extends the exhibition into lived experience—where sound, movement, and community animate the cultural histories and contemporary vitality of cumbia. Come early to learn. Stay late to dance. See you on the dance floor. — About the Artists and Exhibition Butchona is a DJ collective and monthly lesbian party based in Los Angeles.
