SUMMARY:Book Launch: We Came To Welcome You
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 4\, 7pm \n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, September 4\, at 7pm for a Q&A and book signing with local author Vincent Tirado in conversation with Diana Rodriguez Wallach. Light refreshments will be provided. A spine-chilling psychological thriller about a multiracial lesbian couple who are thrilled to move into their dream home in a gated community–– until strange things start happening and the pressure to assimilate becomes life or death. \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\nThe Other Black Girl meets Midsommar in this spine-chilling\, propulsive psychological thriller from highly acclaimed author Vincent Tirado\, about a multiracial lesbian couple who are thrilled to move into their dream home in a gated community–– until strange things start happening and the pressure to assimilate becomes life or death. \n\n\n\nAkin to the social horror of Jordan Peele and Lovecraft County\, We Came to Welcome You cleverly uses the uncanny to illuminate the cultish\, shocking nature of systemic racism. Sol Reyes has had a rough year. After a series of workplace incidents at her university lab culminates in a plagiarism accusation\, Sol is put on probation. Dutiful visits to her homophobic father aren’t helping her mental health\, and she finds her nightly glass of wine becoming more of an all-day—and all-bottle—event. Her wife\, Alice Song\, is far more optimistic. After all\, the two finally managed to buy a house in the beautiful\, gated community of Maneless Grove. But the neighbors are a little too friendly\, in Sol’s opinion. She has no interest in the pushy Homeowners Association\, their bizarrely detailed contract\, or their never-ending microaggressions. But Alice simply attributes their pursuit to the community motto: “Invest in a neighborly spirit\,” which only serves to irritate Sol more.   Suddenly\, a number of strange occurrences—doors and stairs disappearing\, roots growing inside the house\, a loud buzzing sound that only Sol can hear—cause Sol to wonder if her social paranoia is built on something more sinister. But Sol’s fears are dismissed as Alice embraces their new home and becomes increasingly worried about Sol’s drinking and manic behavior. When Sol finds a journal on the property from a resident that went missing a few years ago\, she realizes why they were able to buy the house so easily… Through Sol’s razor-sharp tongue and macabre sense of humor\, Tirado explores the very real pressures to assimilate with one’s surroundings to “survive\,” while also asking the question: Is it survival when you’re no longer your true self? Because in Maneless Grove\, either you become a good neighbor—or you die. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVincent Tirado is a nonbinary Afro-Latine Bronx native. They ventured out to Pennsylvania and Ohio to get their bachelor’s degree in biology and master’s degree in bioethics. Their debut YA novel Burn Down\, Rise Up was the 2022 winner of the Pura Belpré Award and was a finalist for the 2022 Stoker Awards and 2023 Lammy Awards. Their sophomore YA novel We Don’t Swim Here was called “a chilling ghost story” by Publishers Weekly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiana Rodriguez Wallach is a multi-published author of young adult novels. Her mostrecent\, Small Town Monsters\, is a YA Latinx horror novel that published in September 2021. Her next YA Latinx Horror\, Hatchet Girls\, comes out October 10\, 2023. Bustle listed Diana as one of the “Top Nine Latinx Authors to Read for Women’s History Month.” She is the author of the Anastasia Phoenix Series\, as well as YA contemporary Latina novels and a YA short-story collection. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband\, two children\, and two cats.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Luis A. Miranda\, Jr. and Dr. Carmen Febo San Miguel
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 30\, 7pm | Theater doors open at 6:30pm    \n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Event\n\n\n\n\n$0 – $30\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulia de Burgos Bookstore welcomes Luis A. Miranda Jr.\, Latino trailblazer and father of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda\, to present his new memoir\, Relentless: My Story of the Latino Spirit That is Transforming America\, in conversation with Dr. Carmen Febo San Miguel as part of Taller Puertorriqueño’s 50th anniversary programming. The conversation will be followed by a book signing. Admission is included with purchase of book. \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\nEssential reading from an expert voice: Luis A. Miranda Jr.’s personal and political memoir reveals a deep understanding of Latino culture and how to build community to change our world for the better. \n\n\n\nA veteran of New York and national politics\, Luis Miranda embodies the relentless spirit of progress of American immigrants. \n\n\n\nThere is no one on the Latino\, New York\, and national political scene with the breadth of experience\, passion\, and storytelling charm of Luis Miranda. In  \n\n\n\nRelentless\, he shares a fascinating narrative of his life and career—from his early days as a radically minded Puerto Rican activist to his decades of political advice and problem-solving. \n\n\n\nMiranda recounts the thrill of the ascendency of  Hamilton\, created by his son Lin-Manuel\, and he details the suffering after the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. Amid the triumphs and challenges\, Miranda examines what his experience reveals about our ever-changing politics\, demographics\, and society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuis A. Miranda Jr. arrived in New York City from Puerto Rico in 1974 to study psychology at NYU but soon found himself drawn to community action when he organized his neighbors to fight for better schools for their children. In the 1980s he was a special advisor for Hispanic Affairs to Mayor Ed Koch\, and he continued to serve in key roles for the Dinkins and Giuliani administrations. As a founding partner of the MirRam Group\, Miranda has consulted on several successful political campaigns\, including the senatorial campaigns of Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton\, Senator Chuck Schumer\, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Most recently he managed New York Attorney General Letitia James’ successful reelection. Miranda is the founding president of the Hispanic Federation and is currently the chairperson of the Latino Victory Fund\, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance\, Viva Broadway\, and the Public Theater. He is a board member of The City\, and former chair of the Center for Latin American\, Caribbean\, and Latino Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Ciales\, Puerto Rico\, Carmen Febo San Miguel graduated as a physician in 1973. She came to Philadelphia to complete her residency\, specializing in Family Medicine\, which she completed in 1976. For four decades she worked as a Family Medicine Specialist providing comprehensive medical care\, and as Medical Director\, in settings that included Germantown Family Medicine Associates and the Naranjito Health Center in Puerto Rico\, (1980 to 1984)\, until she retired from medicine in 2014. This town in the central mountains of Puerto Rico declared her "Hija Adoptiva” (Adoptive Daughter). \n\n\n\n Carmen is mainly recognized for her work with Taller Puertorriqueño\, as its Executive Director since 1999\, while still serving part-time as a physician until retiring from medicine in 2014. Under her leadership\, Taller continued to grow and\, in 2016\, the organization completed and moved into the stunning $11.5 million cultural center in the heart of Philadelphia’s Latino community. In 2019 she was recognized as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania and in 2023 she received the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Heritage Award for her significant contributions to the heritage future of the Philadelphia region. She currently serves as a member of the Women’s Non-Profit Leadership Initiative\,as a city of Philadelphia Art Commissioner and in Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Exhibitions Committee.

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.

SUMMARY:Picturing the Border Series: Michelle Angela Ortiz and Dr. Veronica Montes
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held at Taller Puertorriqueño in Philadelphia.  Artist Michelle Angela Ortiz and Dr. Veronica Montes will speak about their interdisciplinary collaborations and the ways that art can be a tool for activism and the study of migration. \n\n\n\nMichelle Angela Ortiz is an award-winning visual artist\, skilled muralist\, community arts educator\, and filmmaker who uses her art as a vehicle to represent people and communities whose histories are often lost or co-opted. Through community arts practices\, painting\, documentaries\, and public art installations\, she creates a safe space for dialogue around some of the most profound issues communities and individuals may face. Her work tells stories using richly crafted and emotive imagery to claim and transform spaces into a visual affirmation that reveals the strength and spirit of the community. \n\n\n\nOrtiz has worked with Dr. Veronica Montes\, Associate Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of Latin American\, Iberian\, and Latina/o Studies at Bryn Mawr College. For this event the two will speak about their interdisciplinary collaborations and the ways that art can be a tool for activism and the study of migration.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Bessie Flores Zaldívar

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.
