SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Betsy Z. Casañas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation with Betsy Z. Casañas as we discuss her new paintings in her show\, Call and Response. In contemporary art’s vibrant and ever-evolving world\, few artists capture the essence of storytelling through the visual medium as compellingly as Betsy Z. Casañas. Known for her intricate Mural designs and profound narratives\, Casañas’ work has captivated audiences and sparked global conversations. This event is free and open to the entire family\, let us know you’re coming by registering below. \n\n\n\nBetsy Z Casañas (b. 1974 in Philadelphia\, PA)\, based in Philadelphia and Puerto Rico\, is a Visual and Public Artist\, an educator\, a community activist\, and an organizer. She is the director of A Seed on Diamond Gallery (closed in 2020) and founder of Semilla Arts LLC\, a grassroots organization that uses art for social change. Casañas has 29 years of experience in the arts and has created over 70 murals worldwide. In 2018\, Casañas was featured in the Robb Report as one of the “5 Women Changing the Face of Street Art Around the Globe”.

As a Latina artist working in communities of color worldwide\, she understands the importance of the people living in these communities seeing themselves reflected in the artwork and the leadership of their places. She believes that artists must reflect on the times they are living in and highlight the people’s stories to change the narrative that has been created for us. By normalizing and humanizing our collective stories\, we create more tolerant communities. \n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister

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.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Alexis Duque Los Dueños de Nada
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September\, 13 5pm – 8pm\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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the opening of Los Dueños de Nada (The Owners of Nothing) a solo exhibition of Alexis Duque’s new paintings and works on paper that interweaves personal history with broader socio-political themes. Duque is a Colombian artist based in New York City. In his new work\, Duques uses figurative representational techniques to bring into relief the lives of those impacted by migration\, class\, and ethnic distinctions and who may otherwise be seen as residing on the periphery of society. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition’s title is a nod to “Los Nadies” (“The Nobodies”)\, a poem by Uruguayan historian and novelist Eduardo Galeano decrying the invisibility cast upon the millions of dispossessed people around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Below\n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister
