Please join the artists Patricia Cazorla, Nancy Sáleme, Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong, Luis Lara Malvacias, and Martha Ruiz-Perilla in a Tertulia on Saturday, October 17th, 2020; 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Tertulia (@tertulia_latina_nyc) is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones, especially in Iberia or Latin America. The word is originally Spanish, and has only moderate currency in English, in describing Latin cultural context. It is similar to a salon, but a typical tertulia in recent centuries has been a regularly scheduled event in a public place such as a bar, although some tertulias are held in more private spaces, such as someone’s living room. Participants may share their recent creations (poetry, short stories, other writings, even artwork or songs). Usually ( but not always) the participants in a regularly scheduled tertulia are, in some respects, like-minded, whether by having similar politics, similar literary tastes, etc.
