La Nuestra Tango is a New York based project founded in 2022 by Phi Lee Lam. The name "La Nuestra" is inspired by a feminist football group in Buenos Aires, Argentina that empowers women through the sport and culture of football.

​Today its initiatives are led by Karen Johnson and Phi Lee Lam in collaboration with those who share a desire to shape and facilitate a multi-sensory, embodied, and playful experience for participants to investigate the social embedding of the Tango, and the ways we exist within it in all their rich and complicated pains, possibilities, and pleasures.

La Nuestra Tango

We offer gatherings and happenings that are conceived as inspired acts of resistance to oppressive norms that are still alive and well in tango. We are pushing against the boundaries of tradition and transforming the arts, the culture of tango towards a more humanistic, embodied form which reflects gender equality, equity and empowerment.
