BORIMIX Puerto Rico Fest makes Puerto Rican arts accessible to a multi-ethnic and multi-generational audience, promoting creative collaboration between Latinx artists.

BORIMIX Puerto Rico Fest was established in 2006 by Clemente visual artist resident Miguel Trelles and Manuel Moran/Teatro SEA at The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center in the Lower East Side. This November long festival showcases Puerto Rican and Latin American art in a range of mediums and disciplines.

Thanks to its partnership with The Clemente, Borimix has transformed Puerto Rican Heritage Month into a gathering of Puerto Rico’s diaspora artists with Latin Americans from all over New York. The Festival now takes place citywide and highlights the impact of the Puerto Rican/LatinX community on the arts and cultural life of the City, the Nation, and the Hemisphere.

We are ready to host our 16th annual BORIMIX: Puerto Rico Fest – NYC’s Latinx cultural landmark event -which features an array of events that include panels, films, theatre, music and the visual arts. These events highlight the impact of Puerto Rican identity and arts & culture within the City, Nation, and Hemisphere, as it intersects with other Latinx identities. This year’s edition is dedicated to the 500 years of San Juan.
