Dear Family & Friends,
As you have all heard and read, Tonalli will be closisng its physical location on 38th & Pecos. The last couple of weeks have been extremely stressful and painful as we fought to keep our beloved space open. Unfortunately, we were not able to secure the funding we needed to keep our doors open and with the economy continuing to tumble, we decided that the best option at this point was to close our physical location but to continue our online marketplace as well as maintain our attendance at community events, fairs, and celebrations!
This is by no means the end of Tonalli, we hope to reopen again with new energy and with the same amount of love and passion for our designs, community and our youth! We want to thank everyone who has been by our side during this difficult time and for supporting us! It was a true honor for us to share our space with you, our gente, our familia and our friends. From the opening "engagement" to the amazing evening with Oscar Torres! We have had an incredible time with you and we hope that you have been impacted as well. We love what we do and again, this is only Phase (face) One of Tonalli.
Once again, we are only closing the physical location but will be upgrading and revamping our website so that it is a super functional community shopping marketplace!
Our last day open will be FRIDAY, MAY 23RD, so stop by and say hello. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your love and support, and for the beautiful energy that you all brought into Tonalli. The space would not have been as beautiful without it.
Thank you.

Voces Inocentes at Tonalli |

Wednesday, 30 April 2008 |
|
You are invited to participate in a conversation
and to view the film:
INNOCENT VOICES
(Voces Inocentes)
Special Guest
Oscar Torres, Screenwriter, Producer
May 9, 2008
7:00PM
Oscar
Torres wrote the screenplay for the film based on his own experiences
in El Salvador during the Civil War. He will participate with the
audience in a discussion on his experience as a screenwriter and on his
struggle for survival in an environment marked by cruelty, violence,
and death.
A common practice for the Salvadoran military during
the decade of the 1980's was to "recruit" children as soon as they
turned 12 years old to become soldiers to fight against the rebel
forces (FMLN).
INNOCENT VOICES tells the story of Chava, an 11
year old boy living in Cuscatancingo, a small town in El Salvador
during the Civil War (1980-1992) which resulted in more than 75,000
deaths. Oscar Torres' experiences are revealed through Chava, whose
childhood represents a microcosm of the political conditions in the
country.
