Join the team behind “Vámonos Pa’l Monte” for a conversation with partners Taller Puertorriqueño and Norris Square Neighborhood Project.

On Thursday, September 17, join us for VAMOS A HACER: Communal Co-Creation Journey — Vámonos Pa’l Monte Project Partners in Conversation with the project team, the cohort of local artists collaborating on this Mural Arts project, and representatives from project partners Taller Puertorriqueño and Norris Square Neighborhood Project.

The Vámonos Pa’l Monte team and project partners will share the behind-the-scenes collaborative process of this public art and engagement project, culminating in October with a four-mile procession through Philadelphia. Together, they have spent two years in deep community engagement with residents, artists, and culture workers of Norris Square, a neighborhood long at the heart of Philadelphia’s Puerto Rican population. Hear how this shared journey has shaped and informed lead artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz’s creative process.

On-site art activations led by teaching artists and partners will follow the conversation. Attendees will have the opportunity to create art objects that will become part of the Vámonos Pa’l Monte processional.

The conversation will be moderated by Marángeli Mejía-Rabell, project curator, director of the Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival, and co-founder/jefa of AFROTAINO.

Join us for La Guagua 47 Community Concert at Taller Puertorriqueño on Saturday, September 26th at 7:00 PM. An evening of music, storytelling, and celebration featuring selections from La Guagua 47 – a new bilingual musical by Alba Martínez, heading to its world premiere at Philadelphia Theatre Company in the 2027-28 season.

As a featured event for Hispanic Heritage Month. This performance will serve as the special capstone of the Guagua47 artist residency. Taller Puertorriqueño has been proud to host Alba Martínez as an Artist in Residence, leading a multi-year creative and community-engaged residency rooted in the development of La Guagua 47. Learn more about the residency here.

La Guagua 47 tells the story of Lucía, a 15-year-old artist from Jayuya, Puerto Rico, forced to leave everything she knows and move to Philadelphia after her father loses his job at the town’s pharmaceutical plant. Determined to return home, she sets out to find a ticket back to the island. She finds the 47 bus instead.

This concert brings La Guagua 47 directly into the Latino community that inspired it, with a professional cast, the La Guagua 47 Community Chorus, and a live band.

Everybody gets on. Fulton Bank, FINANTA, and Taller Puertorriqueño make free admission possible. The other three levels aren’t ticket prices – they’re ways to join us and make the next concert possible.
