Alixa Garcia

Over the last 15 years, Climbing PoeTree has infused our movements for justice with healing and imagination, inspiring thousands through their award-winning multimedia hip hop theater, dual-voice spoken word, music and grassroots organizing. Alixa and Naima have independently organized 31 national and international tours, taking their work from South Africa to Cuba, the UK to Mexico, and throughout the U.S. including 11,000 miles toured on a bus converted to run on recycled vegetable oil. Climbing PoeTree has been experienced at diverse venues from the United Nations to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Harvard University to Rikers Island Prison. They have been featured alongside visionaries such as Alice Walker, Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Little Dragon, Danny Glover, Cornel West, and Angela Davis, who remarked, “Each time I have the pleasure of attending a performance by Climbing PoeTree, I feel enriched, renewed, and inspired.”
