SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Tiny Threads
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 7 at 7pm \n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us with award-winning author Lilliam Rivera to celebrate the launch of her adult debut\, Tiny Threads. A dark supernatural thriller set in the world of fashion by former fashion journalist and award-winning author Lilliam Rivera.  Lilliam will be in conversation with Erica Bernal of LITina Book Club. RSVP and pre-order your book for 25% off! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFashion-obsessed Samara finally has the life she’s always dreamed of: A high-powered job with legendary designer Antonio Mota. A new home in sunny California\, far away from those drab Jersey winters. And an intriguing love interest\, Brandon\, a wealthy investor in Mota’s fashion line. But it’s not long before Samara’s dream life begins to turn into a living nightmare as Mota’s big fashion show approaches and the pressure on her turns crushing. Perhaps that’s why she begins hearing voices in her room at night—and seeing strange things that can’t be explained away by stress or anxiety or the number of drinks she’s been consuming. And it may not be just Samara imagining things as her psyche unravels\, because she soon discovers hints that her new city—and the House of Mota—may be built on a foundation of secrets and lies. Now Samara must uncover what hideous truths lurk in the shadows of this illusory world of glamour and beauty before those shadows claim her. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLilliam Rivera is a MacDowell Fellow and an award-winning author of eight works of fiction: four young adult novels\, three middle grade books\, and a graphic novel for DC Comics. Her books have been awarded a Pura Belpré honor and featured on NPR and in The New Yorker\, the Los Angeles Times\, The New York Times\, and multiple “best of” lists. Her novel Never Look Back is slated for a movie adaptation. A Bronx\, New York\, native\, Lilliam Rivera currently lives in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout LITina Book Club\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErica Bernal is an avid reader who feels passionate about representation and created LITina Book Club; a space where readers can connect with each other and authors to discover new books that tell the many stories in Latine Literature. Each month\, she selects a book and holds meetings which are streamed on Instagram live with authors who wrote the book (past authors have included Quiara Alegria Hudes\, Maria Hinojosa\, Dahlma Llanos Figueroa to name a few). She aims to promote stories as diverse as our culture. By engaging the community in these meetings the club promotes literacy\, reading for leisure\, and a sense of belonging. Members have stated they learned ro advocate for themselves\, use their voice\, and have even been inspired to write their own stories. \n\n\n\nErica has worked with organizations such as Taller Puertorriqueño\, Latin American Book Fair\, and Power Street Theater to host in person events which promote both the book club and Latine spaces for arts and culture. \n\n\n\nShe says often that she has created this space because its “one she needed as a young Boricua who didn’t see herself in the stories she was reading” since the publishing industry does not typically market to the Latine demographic.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 9 at 3pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE PUBLIC EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday\, November 9th at 3pm for a Q&A and book signing with author of Libertad\, Bessie Flores Zaldívar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nA queer YA coming-of-age set during the rigged Honduran presidential election about a young poet discovering the courage it takes to speak her truth about the people and country she loves. \n\n\n\nAs the contentious 2017 presidential election looms and protests rage across every corner of the city\, life in Tegucigalpa\, Honduras\, churns louder and faster. For her part\, high school senior Libertad (Libi) Morazán takes heart in writing political poetry for her anonymous Instagram account and a budding romance with someone new. But things come to a head when Mami sees texts on her phone mentioning a kiss with a girl and Libi discovers her beloved older brother\, Maynor\, playing a major role in the protests. As Libertad faces the political and social corruption around her\, stifling homophobia at home and school\, and ramped up threats to her poetry online\, she begins dreaming of a future in which she doesn’t have to hide who she is or worry about someone she loves losing their life just for speaking up. Then the ultimate tragedy strikes\, and leaving her family and friends—plus the only home she’s ever known—might be her only option. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nBorn in 1997 in Tegucigalpa\, Honduras\, Bessie FloresZaldívar is a writer and professor of fiction. They’re currently based in the New Haven area. Libertad is Bessie’s debut novel.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Patricia Coral
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 23 at 3pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE PUBLIC EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday\, November 23rd at 3pm for a conversation with author of Women Surrounded by Water\, Patricia Coral in conversation with Adrienne Perry.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nGrowing up in Puerto Rico\, Patricia Coral was surrounded by women who fought for their needs amid the demands of domesticity and who were dismissed and judged when they rejected any predetermined paths on an island that itself has never been free. At age twenty-five\, she married her first love\, a green-eyed musician whose internal storms drove Coral to slowly realize that the marriage must end. Faced with disillusionment—with her husband\, with the patriarchal expectations that surrounded her like the Caribbean Sea\, and with the limited options available to her—she leaves\, only for Hurricane Maria to wrench her heart homeward. \n\n\n\nCoral evokes the beauty\, love\, and language of her family and of Puerto Rico as well as the pain of yearning for more. Tastes\, colors\, and the dreamlike lushness of childhood memories infuse this mournful and propulsive memoir of personal and natural disasters—and the self-discovery made possible only when we choose what to leave behind. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nPatricia Coral is a bilingual Puerto Rican writer. She holds an MFA in creative writing from American University\, where she received the Myra Sklarew Award and where she was Editor in Chief of FOLIO. Coral writes creative nonfiction and poetry\, but frequently her words find their home in between. The former events director for Politics and Prose Bookstore\, she has contributed to numerous literary magazines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Moderator\n\n\n\nAdrienne Perry grew up in Wyoming\, earned her MFA from Warren Wilson College\, and her PhD in Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Houston. From 2014-2016 she served as the Editor of Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts. A Hedgebrook alumna\, Adrienne is also a Kimbilio Fellow and a member of the Rabble Collective. Adrienne’s writing has received support from Friends of Writers\, the Elizabeth George Foundation\, Inprint\, and the University of Houston. In 2020\, Adrienne received the inaugural Elizabeth Alexander Prize in Creative Writing from Meridians journal. Adrienne’s work has appeared or is forthcoming in Copper Nickel\, Black Warrior Review\, Indiana Review\, Ninth Letter\, and elsewhere. She is an Assistant Professor of literature and creative writing at at Villanova University.

Primarily known for her feminist reinterpretations of Colonial painting and Pre-Columbian sculpture\, Velarde’s work brings together the personal and the political\, zeroing in on the perspectives of the indigenous people’s culture of her native Peru and those cast into the corner of society due to their age or appearance. \n\n\n\nSilvana Cardell\n\n\n\nSilvana Cardell is an Argentine choreographer\, dancer\, and educator known for her daring\, evocative work in contemporary dance theater. Her choreography explores identity and urgent societal issues\, including climate crisis\, forced migration\, and animal exploitation. \n\n\n\nMarta Sánchez\n\n\n\nChicanx artist Marta Sánchez draws profound inspiration from traditional Mexican folk art traditions. Her artistic practice primarily focuses on linocut\, monotype\, and painting with collage on metal. In her work\, she has explored memory\, mental health\, and placemaking. \n\n\n\nEugenio Salas\n\n\n\nEugenio Salas is a Mexican/Canadian artist based in Philadelphia. His practice involves disrupting social roles and dynamics through collaborative process-based projects carried out autonomously and within institutions. The resulting participatory\, performative actions employ sculpture\, media\, print\, live actions\, and cooking.

Firmly rooted in portraiture\, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Bodies & Territories: Ecofeminist Legacy – Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 17 at 4pm\n\n\n\nat Taller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE PUBLIC EVENT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Film Screening and Conversation with Raquel Cecilia Mendieta\, Silvana Cardell\, and Mey-Yen Moriuchi at Taller Puertorriqueño\n\n\n\nBodies & Territories: Ecofeminist Legacy brings together choreographer Silvana Cardell\, filmmaker Raquel Cecilia Mendieta\, and art historian Mey-Yen Moriuchi for a screening and conversation that reflects on and reimagines ecofeminist artistic practice. 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:Meet the Author: Krystal Anali Vazquez - Lady Without Land
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June7 at 3pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE PUBLIC EVENT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Saturday\, June 7\, with author Krystal Anali Vazquez to discuss her award-winning novel\, Lady Without Land. RSVP above! \n\n\n\nAbout the book\n\n\n\n-Winner of The 2023 George Garrett Fiction Prize\, selected by Manuel Muñoz-2024 Foreword INDIES Finalist for LGBTQ+ FictionLady without Land is a story told in fragments about señorita who feels lost in and lost without Los Angeles. She uses classic literature and cocktail recipes to organize and populate bits and pieces of a life: growing up as a Mexican middle-class girl in a predominantly white suburb where neighbors labeled her family the “dirty” Mexicans; being bullied by an older sister on car rides from Los Angeles to Mexico\, grappling with a father’s gambling addiction\, and\, later\, his death; journeying on the continuous carousel of lovers the Pacific and Atlantic coasts have to offer. A shaken and stirred abecedarian\, a sloppy yet put-together künstlerroman\, about charting one’s life path amid cultural pressures and the grip of the ever-present past\, the book can be read forwards or backwards and\, with any hope\, completely out of sequence so that no reader can read this novel the same way twice.
