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.
