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:Arturo Schomburg Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Saturday \,February 28 from 9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets & Learn More\n\n\n\n\nTicketed Event | $10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 30th Annual Arturo Schomburg Symposium traces how African-descended peoples\, both enslaved and free\, have sustained cultures and liberation struggles through rich\, dynamic\, spiritual\, and religious expressions. \n\n\n\nAs the United States commemorates the Semiquincentennial in 2026\, Taller Puertorriqueño’s guiding theme\, “We Will Not Hide\,” draws inspiration from the 1976 “Sin Colonias March” in Philadelphia—also called the “People’s Bicentennial”—which united over 40\,000 African Americans\, Indigenous activists\, Puerto Ricans\, and allies in a powerful demonstration of solidarity and resistance to a narrative that ignores their presence\, needs\, and contributions. This historic coalition serves as a touchstone for the symposium’s commitment to visibility\, dignity\, and self-determination. The Schomburg Symposium will kick off this year’s programming. \n\n\n\nThe Schomburg Symposium has\, for the past 29 years\, presented critical\, celebratory\, and reflective perspectives from the Latine\, Latin American\, African American\, and AfroLatine communities\, featuring leading scholars\, activists\, artists\, and community voices. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Symposium’s programming here.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: You Should Have Been Nicer To My Mom with author Vincent Tirado in conversation with Diana Rodriguez Wallach
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 17\, 6:30pm\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\nJoin us to celebrate the launch of YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICER TO MY MOM\, a modern gothic horror by local author Vincent Tirado. \n\n\n\nAbout the book:Demons clash with inheritance claims as secrets unfold and violence is unleashed over twelve harrowing hours trapped in a house with the worst thing imaginable: family. \n\n\n\nWhen Papi Ramon\, the patriarch of the wealthy Abreu family dies\, he gives the family one last message in the will: “One of you is el bacà\, the demon that I made a deal with. Get rid of them or you will be damned.” Xiomara\, the uncontested favorite of Papi Ramon (and therefore the least liked in the family)\, watches as everyone dismisses this as the joke of a senile old man and demands the lawyer obtain the previous will Papi wrote. \n\n\n\nWhile the lawyer drives back to his office\, a storm breaks out\, forcing the entire family—Xiomara’s aunts and uncles and cousins—to remain in the house. And the words of Papi’s will hangs over their heads even heavier than the rain clouds. Over the course of the night\, scandal after scandal is revealed to the public about the family. Suddenly a tense few hours of surviving her family turns into a vicious night of recrimination\, violence\, accusations…and murder.Xiomara is faced with an impossible task: uproot a demon and somehow kill it or excise the ghosts that linger within her own family. \n\n\n\nAnd the clock is ticking…

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:Remembering the Sin Colonias March of 1976: A Two-Part Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:at Taller Puertorriqueño 2600 N. 5th St \n\n\n\nRemembering the Sin Colonias March of 1976 – A Two-Part Panel Discussion Part I: Voices from la Lucha 1976\n\n\n\n“It is to assert the long and heroic tradition of our people’s resistance to all forms of tyranny\, a tradition which today takes the form of the battle for democratic rights\, against the effects of the system’s economic crisis and for an end to colonialism\, that we will observe the Bicentennial in Philadelphia on July 4 in protest and in celebration of our unity in struggle.” – The July 4th Coalition Call to Action\, 1976. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFREE RSVP BELOW\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\nOn July 4\, 1976\, as the United States celebrated its 200th anniversary\, a massive multiracial alliance—led by Puerto Rican and Native American activists—took to the streets of Philadelphia under the banner “A Bicentennial Without Colonies” (Sin Colonias). 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. He has led several Philadelphia-based organizations\, including the Open Borders Project (Proyecto Sin Fronteras) and the Action Alliance of Senior Citizens\, where he served as Executive Director from 1997 to 2007. \n\n\n\nAngel L. Ortiz\, the first Puerto Rican and first Latino to serve on the Philadelphia City Council. He was first elected in 1985. Ortiz served on the Philadelphia City Council for 19 years and was a champion for working-class Philadelphians\, marginalized communities\, and the rights of women and LGBTQ individuals. 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: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.

SUMMARY:Cold War Puerto Rico: Steve Howell in conversation with Vanessa Maria Graber
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 13\, 6:30pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\nTicketing Options: Book + Admission | Sliding Scale Donation: $0 – $20\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a riveting discussion with author Steve Howell in conversation with Vanessa Maria Graber about his new book\, Cold War Puerto Rico. \n\n\n\nTicketing Options: \n\n\n\n\nRECOMMENDED: Book + Admission\n\n\n\nSliding Scale Donation: $0-$20\n\n\n\n\nAbout the book: \n\n\n\nA gripping history of FBI surveillance\, political repression\, and the fight for Puerto Rican independence. In the 1940s\, with the construction of a naval base and a bombing range\, Puerto Rico became a major geo-political military outpost for the United States. For a power claiming global leadership in a decolonizing world\, however\, the archipelago’s colonial condition underscored the dissonance between American democratic rhetoric and its imperial reality. The solution was a deal that\, in 1952\, gave Puerto Rico a degree of self-government without changing its legal status as an “unincorporated” US territory. The US then publicly claimed Puerto Rico was now more autonomous while using repressive tactics such as FBI surveillance\, arrests\, destabilization\, and other methods developed in Washington to silence activists and political parties pushing for full independence. \n\n\n\nIn Cold War Puerto Rico\, Steve Howell examines how J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI targeted Puerto Rican communists as part of an offensive against pro-independence parties and activists generally. Howell’s US-born father\, who fell afoul of Hoover for producing radical cartoons while working in San Juan in the 1940s\, remained on the FBI’s watch list long after exiling himself in Britain. His close friends\, the Puerto Rican author César Andreu Iglesias and Jane Speed de Andreu\, were meanwhile arrested and imprisoned three times during the 1950s. Drawing on a wealth of new sources\, including interviews and FBI files\, Howell tells their stories along with those of other activists who battled indictment in 1954 under the Smith Act\, challenged the jurisdiction of the House Un-American Activities Committee in San Juan in 1959\, and revived the Puerto Rican independence movement in the 1960s\, despite the FBI deploying the covert tactics of COINTELPRO against them. \n\n\n\nPuerto Rico is virtually invisible in histories of what is generally called McCarthyism\, yet anti-communist repression was in many ways more intense there than in the mainland US. Now\, with Puerto Rico’s future currently hanging in the balance\, Howell’s compelling history demonstrates why we need to understand the long enforcement of its colonial status.
