Las Nietas de Nonó is comprised of sisters Mulowayi and Mapenzi Nonó, who live in Barrio San Antón, a half-rural, half-industrial working-class neighborhood of Carolina, Puerto Rico. They work at the intersection of theater, performance, dance, visual art, activism, ecology, and emancipatory education. Las Nietas de Nonó make autobiographical work that is framed within the socio-economic and geographical context of the exclusion and eviction of black communities in Puerto Rico, which entails racial and class discrimination, mass incarceration, drug trafficking, obstetric violence, and the cycle of poverty.
