Panelists show how art brings change

Daniel Jose Custodio, a poet who founded the Slam Nahuatl local slam poetry group in 2008, said he thought anytime an artist depends on an institution, he or she is compromising the art. "The artists really have to go beyond the channels of institutions, beyond the university, beyond getting the grant money or the pat on the back [to create change]," he said. Two years ago, Custodio created the End Hunger slam poetry series in which Slam Nahuatl troupe took the proceeds from their shows and provided a single mother and her two children with funding for an entire year's worth of groceries.

This special land was where young idiots from New Jersey (like myself) would go to endure rigorous training to become successful accountants, surgeons, journalists and other boring professions that we swore in third grade we would never succumb to.
