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. Rafael Damast will moderate the discussion. \n\n\n\nThe event will be held at Taller Puertorriqueño\, 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133. Free visitor parking is available in the rear of the building on Huntingdon St. \n\n\n\nPlease register on the form here

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.

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 6:30 p.m. at Taller for a discussion with artists Kukuli Velarde\, Silvana Cardell\, Marta Sánchez\, and Eugenio Salas 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\nKukuli Velarde\n\n\n\nPhiladelphia-based artist Kukuli Velarde is a painter and sculptor. 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. 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.

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.
