SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Miranda Lopez: Para mi niña
DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPara Mi Niña reflects the past\, present\, and future dreams of our little Black and Brown girls. Three young girls — the youngest\, middle\, and oldest — play dress-up as their mothers\, aunts\, grandmothers\, and matriarchs who worked during the World Trade Fair era. \n\n\n\nWearing vibrant colors\, flowers\, prints\, and dresses inspired by Puerto Rican culture and the spirit of Plena\, they mirror the strength and pride of the women before them. The youngest builds the Women’s Pavilion with blocks\, symbolizing foundation and possibility. \n\n\n\nThis piece honors how older women clear the path so younger generations can dream\, create\, and shape lasting change. \n\n\n\nMiranda Lopez: Para mi niña is included in Radical Americana\, a citywide initiative organized by The Clay Studio to mark the Semiquincentennial.

SUMMARY:Reception: Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi:Mi Isla y Yo
DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Friday\,  April 24 at 5:30pm for the reception of Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi’s exhibition\, Mi Isla y yo\, draws a parallel between the Puerto Rican people’s yearning for territorial sovereignty and the struggle for bodily autonomy. This theme echoes the upcoming semi-quincentennial celebration\, yet feels increasingly out of reach for many. \n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\nA central element of the exhibition is Rullán-Fantauzzi’s exploration of the Puerto Rican flag. In her photographic work La Guerrera (2024)\, the artist is painted in the historical sky blue\, red\, and white of the flag. This choice carries significant weight\, as it references the 1948 Gag Law (Ley de la Parada)\, which criminalized the public display of the flag. The artist connects this historical suppression to contemporary resistance against trans visibility\, suggesting that both are attempts to control identity and sovereignty. \n\n\n\nMi Isla y yo demonstrates how symbols persist and how patterns of oppression repeat across eras. Ultimately\, the exhibition suggests that recognizing these patterns is essential to breaking negative historical cycles and offering a path toward personal and collective liberation.

Tens of thousands marched to demand social and economic justice\, exposing the gap between American ideals and the colonialist realities still shaping the lives of many communities. \n\n\n\nAs we approach the 50th anniversary of this historic rally\, we invite you to join a special commemorative gathering. This event offers a meaningful counterpoint to official U.S. semiquincentennial celebrations by highlighting an essential chapter in Philadelphia’s activism and community history that has lessons for today. \n\n\n\nIf you were a participant in the 1976 march\, there will be opportunities to share and record your memories and reflections. Photos\, flyers\, and other memorabilia from the July 4th Coalition protest will be displayed \n\n\n\nWhether you marched in 1976 or are learning about this history for the first time\, we want to hear your voice—join us in a panel discussion to remember\, reflect\, and connect with the spirit of this protest. \n\n\n\nFeatured panel\, including:\n\n\n\nAlyssa Ribeiro\, Henry A. Logan\, Sr. Professor of American History at Allegheny College. She has written about the July 4th\, 1976\, protest in the anthology Revolution Around the Corner. Her research explores how diverse coalitions have driven political and social change at the local level. Her forthcoming book\, “Making the City Brotherly: Multiracial\, Progressive Activism in North Philadelphia\, 1960s–1980s\,” will be published by the University of Chicago Press. \n\n\n\nPedro Rodriguez\, a participant in the 1976 march and a longtime community activist.

In 1976\, Ortiz was a young lawyer who had just moved to Philadelphia and played a pivotal role in organizing the July 4th protest. \n\n\n\nEdwin Mayorga (moderator)\, Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Studies and in the Program in Latin American and Latino Studies at Swarthmore College. His engaged scholarship applies cultural\, political\, and economic perspectives to questions of urbanism\, Latinx education\, and social justice teaching.

SUMMARY:Jorge Luis Rodríguez: The Playing of the Music Boxes - Featuring Timbalona Collective 
DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Event  \n\n\n\nThe Timbalona Collective is a dynamic percussion ensemble rooted in the vibrant traditions of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American folk music. This performance will realize Jorge Luis Rodriguez’s long-held dream of seeing his sculpture series\, The Music Boxes\, played as musical instruments. \n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\nThe Sculptures \n\n\n\n Created in 1981 while Rodriguez was a resident artist at the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Cajas musicales are crafted from welded steel and deeply influenced by African Art. Each of the eight boxes is distinct\, possessing its own unique aesthetic and resonance. Rodriguez’s work has always been experimental\, pushing the boundaries of modernism and redefining our understanding of sculpture. Join us for this inaugural event—45 years in the making. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\n Rodríguez is a pioneering multidisciplinary artist whose career bridges minimalism\, site-specific installation\, and Afro-Caribbean cultural expression. After moving from Puerto Rico to New York in 1963\, he absorbed the city’s emerging art movements—minimalism\, optical art\, and environmental art—before “abandoning the canvas” in the 1970s to pursue sculpture. Following his studies at the School of Visual Arts and New York University\, he developed a visual language that fuses formal precision with symbolic and cultural depth. His early works\, shaped by the alternative art scenes of Harlem and SoHo\, reflect a growing dialogue regarding culture\, modernism\, and art in public spaces.

SUMMARY:Reception: Jorge Luis Rodríguez – Orisha / Santos – An Artistic Interpretation of the Seven African Powers​
DESCRIPTION:LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Friday\, February 13 at 5:30pm for the reception of a groundbreaking installation by Puerto Rican artist Jorge Luis Rodriguez — Orisha/Santos: An Artistic Interpretation of the Seven African Powers. \n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\nFirst shown at MoCHA in 1985\, this work reshaped how Afro-Caribbean spirituality\, minimalism\, and sculpture intertwined. Rodriguez now brings this historic installation to Taller Puertorriqueño\, working closely with Philadelphia-based artists Yoanny Aldaya and Danny Melendez\, both deeply rooted in Santería traditions. \n\n\n\nThrough cut steel forms and layered symbolism\, Rodriguez reimagines the Orishas\, revealing their enduring power and connection to resilience\, faith\, and identity. Each piece bridges Yoruba deities and their syncretized Christian counterparts\, capturing the spirit and the resistance of Afro-diasporic survival. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this monumental return.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Heather Raquel Phillips & Yoanny Aldaya & Moderated by Gabriel Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 17\, 2pm – 4pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Show\n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on January 17 for an exclusive private viewing and an intimate conversation with the artists of the exhibition “Mundos paralelos” (Parallel Worlds). The discussion will be moderated by Gabriel Martinez\, a Miami-born\, Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary artist and educator.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe exhibition brings together two distinct artists whose practices encompass photography\, video\, installation\, and performance. Though they come from different backgrounds—Yoanny Aldaya (b. 1984) immigrated from Havana\, Cuba\, in 2024\, while Heather Raquel Phillips (b. 1974) is a mixed-media artist of Puerto Rican descent raised in the U.S.—their work converges. Both artists utilize their craft to challenge social norms and foster safe spaces for diversity and individuality. \n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule:\n\n\n\n2:00 PM: Private viewing of the exhibition with the artists.3:00 PM: Artist talk and moderated discussion. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeather Raquel Phillips presents a multilayered installation\, “Path to Candyland\,” which incorporates video\, painting\, DIY set design\, and banners to welcome viewers into a zone for self-care and healing. Dominated by vibrant pinks\, sculptural lollipops\, and a fantasy landscape\, her work makes parallels between the trauma of the self and the exploitation of the island of Puerto Rico.  As many U.S. citizens are experiencing an increase in hostility and intolerance of difference\, Puerto Rico continues to experience violence under colonial rule. Phillips’ work relies on collaboration\, and in this spirit\, the viewer is encouraged to interact with the installation to “finish” the work. Phillips’ work challenges social constructs that encourage us to limit ourselves\, disregard our intuition\, and conform to societal norms. In turn\, she encourages unapologetic self-expression through displays of joy that transcend societal standards. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoanny Aldaya’s contributions at the beginning of the gallery\, “de este lado de la pared” (This Side of the Wall)—encompassing photographs\, performance\, and videos—probe freedom and personal identity within the context of political restriction. The works on view bridge his life in Cuba and his new existence in Philadelphia\, blending past and present. Aldaya’s practice melds religious iconography\, both formally and metaphorically\, with an affinity for theatricality and self-hybridization. His art ultimately positions the body as a contested site where individual\, social\, political\, and cultural identities are forged. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Moderator:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGabriel Martinez is a Miami-born\, Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary artist and educator whose work explores the intersections of Queer identity\, masculinity\, and Cuban-American heritage. Utilizing photography\, performance\, and installation\, his practice often draws from archival research to examine LGBTQ+ history and social justice. \n\n\n\nA highly decorated practitioner\, Martinez has received fellowships from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, the Joan Mitchell Foundation\, and the Independence Foundation. He has participated in prestigious residencies at MacDowell\, Yaddo\, and the Fabric Workshop and Museum.

The discussion will cover her process methods and the themes addressed in his work.\n\n\n\nyux·ta·po·si·cíon / jux·ta·po·si·tion offers a comprehensive look at Calero’s work\, placing her practice in conversation with themes such as fashion photography\, self-representation\, gender fluidity\, and art history. However\, Calero’s work deeply embeds Caribbean visual culture\, urban influences\, and diasporic experiences into her compositions. \n\n\n\nBorn in Puerto Rico and raised mainly in New York City\, Rodríguez Calero pursued formal training at San Juan’s renowned Escuela de Artes Plásticas and the Art Students League of New York. A central figure in her artistic formation was Master Artist and Printmaker Lorenzo Homar\, whose mentorship extended beyond technical instruction to shaping her disciplined work ethic and conceptual approach to artmaking. Building upon this foundation\, Rodríguez Calero developed a distinctive pictorial language that bridges collage\, photography\, and painting.

Silvana Cardell’s new production TERRA: Bodies & Territories will premier in June on the forested land of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in northwest Philadelphia. Cardell’s production aligns the bodies of her dance ensemble with the land\, merging human movement with nature to reveal our inextricable livelihood and empowerment. \n\n\n\nIn this program leading up to the June performances\, Cardell’s work will be discussed in conversation with the groundbreaking work of the artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985)\, whose performative artistic practice embedded her own body into the land. Filmmaker Raquel Cecilia Mendieta introduces Ana Mendieta’s work through two short films\, Ana Mendieta\, Nature Inside (8:23 min) and Whispering Cave (27 min) for this exclusive screening. Bringing Cardell’s new production and Mendieta’s work together\, art historian Mey-Yen Moriuchi will moderate a conversation on the legacy of ecofeminist artistic practice and its relevance today. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters:\n\n\n\nSilvana Cardell\, a dancer\, choreographer\, and educator\, has been awarded a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship in Choreography. With roots in Argentina and the US\, she has directed dance companies and developed programs in both countries. Cardell’s performances blend dance\, theater\, and visual arts\, and draw inspiration from her personal experiences and cultural background. Her work often addresses social issues and challenges dominant cultural narratives. \n\n\n\nCardell’s performances have been showcased domestically and internationally since the late-90s. Her projects have received significant funding from prominent organizations\, including the National Endowment for the Arts\, Pew Center for the Arts & Heritage\, and the New England Foundation for the Arts\, The National Endowment for the Arts\, and Mid Atlantic Foundation of the Arts. She is also committed to advancing dance in her communities\, having founded several organizations\, including EDA Escuela de Danza del Abasto\, a three-year professional dance training program sponsored by Secretaria de Cultura de la Nacion in Argentina\, and Sala Ana Itelman\, a performance space sponsored by the Instituto Nacional del Teatro in Buenos Aires and Cardell Dance Studio in Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nIn Philadelphia\, Cardell has collaborated extensively with Manfred Fishbeck at Group Motion Dance Company\, Myra Bazell and Madison Mario at Scrap Performance\, Merian Soto\, theater director Blanka Zizka and created Cardell Dance Theater and Cardell Dance Studio. \n\n\n\nFrom 2009 to 2022\, she served as the Director and Chair of the Department of Dance at Georgian Court University. \n\n\n\nRaquel Cecilia is an independent filmmaker and writer best known for her recent films on her aunt\, artist Ana Mendieta. Her films have screened at film festivals\, art museums and galleries world-wide. Raquel is also the Administrator of the Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection and has published numerous essays about Ana Mendieta in art catalogues\, most notably the essay on her experience overseeing the digital restoration of Mendieta’s moving image works on film and video in the catalogue Ana Mendieta: Covered in Time & History. She is currently working on a feature length documentary about the life and art of Ana Mendieta and was recently awarded a large grant from a philanthropic organization to help complete the film. \n\n\n\nMey-Yen Moriuchi is the co-editor of Art and Activism in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge\, 2022) which examines the role and breadth of contemporary activist art. Dr. Moriuchi’s book\, Mexican Costumbrismo: Race\, Society\, and Identity in Nineteenth-Century Art\, was published by Penn State University Press in 2018\, and received honorable mention by the Eleanor Tufts Award committee. Dr. Moriuchi received her B.A. in History of Art and International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania\, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in History of Art from Bryn Mawr College. Dr. Moriuchi teaches a variety of topics\, including Latin American art\, art and history of Mexico\, women and art\, public art\, and contemporary art and activism. \n\n\n\nMajor support for TERRA has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, with additional support from Georgian Court University\, and the 2025 Creative Sector Flex Fund\, a program by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk Shifting Realities: 12 Artists Finding Place in Uncertain Times​
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 15\, 6:30pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More About the Show \n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT | RSVP BELOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nShifting Realities showcases a group of diverse artists whose practices confront our current landscape of political polarization and widespread doubt. Through their work\, these artists navigate paths toward stability and solace for themselves and their communities amid profound societal transformation. \n\n\n\nThis artist conversation is part of the exhibition whose theme asks a fundamental question: What constitutes our shared reality in an era when historical narratives face revision\, factual foundations erode\, and individual identities risk being silenced? \n\n\n\nJoin us at 6:30pm at Taller for a discussion with artists Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzz\, Liliana Pérez\, and Miguel Antonio Horn about their work and the work in the show. The curator\, Rafael Damast\, will moderate the talk. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nHagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi\n\n\n\nHagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi is a Philadelphia-based interdisciplinary artist and storyteller. She uses her journey as an Afro-Boricua Trans woman to create work that opens dialogues around often unspoken experiences—originally from Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, Hagudeza’s early years in low-resourced communities ignited a drive to create despite limited access to artistic outlets. Over time\, they honed their voice through movement and visual expression as artists and filmmakers\, crafting original works embodying resilience and transformation. Her projects continue to evolve\, blending forms and pushing boundaries\, driven by a commitment to spark connection and foster more profound understanding. \n\n\n\nLiliana Pérez\n\n\n\nBorn in Havana\, Cuba\, Liliana Pérez’s artistic journey began at the tender age of six when she made a drawing from the balcony of her family’s second-floor apartment in Central Havana. She sketched a car and proudly shared it with her father and uncle. Her uncle taught her how to draw a car\, emphasizing geometric shapes and simplified forms. However\, his approach didn’t resonate with her vision. Determined to stay true to her perspective\, she returned to the balcony\, vowing to create the most sincere and intentional drawing she could muster. This formative experience profoundly shaped her artistic choices throughout her life. \n\n\n\nMiguel Antonio Horn\n\n\n\nMiguel Antonio Horn is a sculptor from Philadelphia with Colombian and Venezuelan roots. He creates large-format sculptures using digital and analog processes in various media. His artworks have been exhibited at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Tamaulipas\, Brownsville Museum of Fine Art\, Philadelphia Museum of Art\, University of the Arts\, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\, and as part of the Vancouver Biennale. He has several permanent public installations in the Philadelphia region\, Canada\, and Mexico.

Firmly rooted in portraiture\, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center. By focusing on the voices and faces of marginalized communities\, Symone uses her art to uplift and amplify those who are often overlooked. \n\n\n\nLinette Messina Martinez\n\n\n\nLinette Messina Martinez is a photographer and textile artist. For years\, she has been creating yarn art on Philadelphia streets. Her work beautifies\, celebrates\, and connects people to their neighborhoods. Her monumental work for the exhibition Threads of Sicilian Passage looked at a loss\, the death of someone special\, and the change in family structure as an opportunity for rebirth. \n\n\n\nKalila Jones\n\n\n\nKalila Jones is a multidisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia\, PA\, whose art explores the intersections of their identity through material exploration. She uses yarn\, found textiles\, hair accessories\, and dollar store craft supplies to make collaged textile garments and sculptures that evoke joy and nostalgia. Their use of material helps them navigate what it means to express a sense of unapologetic self in a society that often presents race & gender as monolithic experiences.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Alexis Duque with Gabriel de Guzman
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 16 at 6:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet reminder on Youtube \n\n\n\n\nFREE VIRTUAL EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us virtually on October 16 at 6:30 PM for a discussion with the artist Alexis Duque on his new work featured in his first solo show at Taller\, Alexis Duque: Los Dueños de Nada. The discussion will cover his process methods and the themes addressed in his work. \n\n\n\nAlexis Duque’s practice is based on research done through observation in his travels and captured in photography. He grounds his investigations on his experiences as a Colombian immigrant to the US\, navigating the complexities of remaining in the country\, making a living\, and gaining permanent status. His new paintings portray the lives of random people and families he has encountered on the streets of Colombia and New York. They are shown working\, “hustling\,” as Duque describes as a means of survival. He also depicts them in their moments of rest and leisure. He says of his new series: \n\n\n\n“Through portraiture and the elongation of some figures\, I seek to bring attention to each character by dignifying their struggle and humanity while referencing their spiritual being. As an immigrant in the USA\, I relate to their lives\, challenges\, and uncertainties\, as well as their joy and resilience.” \n\n\n\nGabriel de Guzman\, Director of Arts and Chief Curator at Wave Hill\, who contributed the catalogue essay “THE DIGNITY OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY” for Duque’s show\, will join us in the talk. Rafael Damast\, the exhibition curator\, will lead the discussion. \n\n\n\nRegister on YouTube Live to get a reminder.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Arcanas: Neocolonial Retablos Inspired by Tarot
DESCRIPTION:Be part of the Opening Reception for Patrick McGrath Muñiz’s latest exhibition\, Arcanas: Neocolonial Retablos Inspired by Tarot on Friday\, September 15\, 2023\, from 6:00pm – 9:00pm and let his artwork inspire your imagination!  Curated by Daniel de Jesús\, this show features 30 new artworks that explore the intersection of tradition and innovation.  \n\n\n\nBy appropriating figures and icons from tarot\, Spanish colonial iconography\, and pop culture\, the artist recreates scenes that mirror his experience living in a world impacted by the onslaught of digital communication and information\, climate change\, social inequality\, and the global pandemic. McGrath Muñiz’s distinctive style seamlessly blends his bicultural upbringing with his signature Baroque-inspired painting technique visualizing our world in the Digital Age. He encourages viewers to explore the roots of our colonial past and gain a deeper understanding of how it shapes our present and future. \n\n\n\nArcanas: Neocolonial Retablos Inspired by Tarot will be on view from August 11\, 2023 to October 21\, 2023. Learn more about the show \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event
