The Fornés Institute

The Fornés Institute has moved it's activity to https://fornesinstitute.com/. The page below is being maintained as archival material.

The Fornés Institute, an LTC initiative, preserves and archives  María Irene Fornés’s legacy as a teacher, mentor and artist, through workshops, convenings and advocacy. The initiative espouses future plans for a permanent retreat/gathering space/library.

The Latinx Theatre Commons (LTC) produced the 2018 LTC María Irene Fornés Institute Symposium on 14 April 2018. If you didn't make it to the Symposium, you watch the livestream!
