Festival Welcome2021 HighlightsLOSS & REMEMBRANCE SPACEThis special area of the festival offers a place toremember, share, and honor loss and grief. Findrespite and support as you witness music anddances of grief and healing, add special namesto the Wall of Loss, contribute to a communityjukebox, sit with a death doula, or share storiesabout how you find solace. Sponsored by theArizona End-of-Life Care Partnership.Photo by Steven MecklerWELCOME TO TUCSON MEET YOURSELF —for 48 years, your celebration of beauty and resilience.It is no secret that the last eighteen months have been challenging for our families,businesses, schools, cities, counties, and country. But if there is one thing we havelearned throughout the pandemic and social justice awakenings of this time, it is thatculture and community endure. They are what help us heal and care for one another.Amid losses and frustrations, we found ways to honor beauty and tradition, practicemutual aid, and hold on to hope. These have always been the core values of TMY—andwhy this event has always been more than simply fun and diversion.In 2020, we produced a hybrid socially distant and virtual festival. It was a fraction ofthe exuberant, inclusive, and expansive TMY we have come to know and love. Now,in 2021, we have worked closely with our County health officials to put together asafe, in-person, outdoor festival. We believe our Covid mitigation plan sets the goldstandard for public gatherings. Now we are counting on you—our faithful and caringpublic—to do your part in helping us carry through this commitment.So many cultural communities of this region and beyond tell us they feel “at home”at our beloved festival. We believe this kind of appreciation, celebration, and elbowrubbing (or elbow wave from a distance) with others is the secret to a rich life and ahealthy community. Plus, there’s food! We hopeyou’ll learn something about someone fromanother culture while you’re here. This festival isa gift we give to us all as Tucsonans and dwellersof these magical borderlands. Mask up, keep yourhealthy distance, and enjoy every morsel.Sincerely,Maribel Alvarez, Ph.D.Jim Griffith Chair in Public Folklore,University of Arizona, Southwest Center22021 TUCSON MEET YOURSELF FESTIVALMARIACHI POP-UP PERFORMANCE& filming of the Little Ugly Monkeys documentaryFor over 50 years, Los Changuitos Feos (The Ugly Little Monkeys) have brought mariachimusic to the region and expanded opportunities for young people.
