Where: Teatro LATEA @ The Clemente
Curated by: Caridad de la Luz, La Bruja
Featured Artists: Bonafide Rojas and Samy Nemir
Tickets and RSVP HERE!
Join us for a screening of La Bruja’s video montage, Nuyorican-Struction, and a night of community and Nuyorican poetry. This event will highlight 50 years of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, hosted by the Emmy winning Executive Director of the famed institution, La Bruja, and will feature the poetry of Bonafide Rojas and Samy Nemir.
About the Company:
Founded in 1973, the Nuyorican Poets Café began as a living room salon in the East Village apartment of writer and poet Miguel Algarin along with other playwrights, poets, and musicians of color whose work was not accepted by the mainstream academic, entertainment or publishing industries. By 1975, the performance poetry scene had started to become a vital element of the Puerto Rican diaspora and African-American culture marked by the release of a “Nuyorican Poetry” anthology, and Miguel Piñero’s “Short Eyes,” which was a hit on Broadway.
By 1981, the overflow of audience and artists led the Café to purchase a former tenement building at 236 East 3rd Street, and to expand its activities and programs from the original space on East 6th Street.
Regarding the director
Caridad De La Luz (she/her/hers) is a world renowned spoken word artist known as La Bruja. She became the Executive Director of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in Jan. 2022 after beginning her career there in 1996. She recently won an Emmy as Script Writer for the cultural short: Legacy of Puerto Rican Poetry which aired on ABC during the National Puerto Rican Day Parade 2021.

"People are constantly going on about the flag. And that’s a starting point, a way of being proud. But I wish they would identify with the history."
- Máximo Rafael Colón
This selection of photographs from photographer Máximo Rafael Colón’s vast oeuvre demonstrates Colón’s commitment to politics, portraiture, and the “cultural provocateurs”: the people who ignited and kept the flame of Puerto Rican culture in New York through institutions like Taller Boricua, the Nuyorian Poet’s Café and New York’s rich music and festival scene. The selection, from Máximo’s personal archive, also constitutes a love letter to analogue photography and the information rich, uncropped print that relies on the precise moment.
Harking from " la Villa del Capitán Correa", Arecibo/Puerto Rico, Máximo Rafael Colón moved to New York at a young age. He started his formal training in the "darkroom arts" at the School of Visual Arts and from the get go a unique trajectory started: Colón's profound concern with social justice has been portrayed by documentary photographs of sit-ins, the emergence of the Young Lords and the clamor of Latinos demanding equal rights. His images capture a period of upheaval and political ferment reflecting an unwavering commitment to Puerto Rican Nationalism and the struggle for the liberation of imprisoned Nationalists such as Carlos Feliciano, Andrés Figueroa Cordero, Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda and Irvin Flores Rodríguez.
Colón's work was featured in the landmark photographic exhibition, Dos Mundos (1973) organized by the Institute of Contemporary Hispanic Art. He has participated in various prestigious exhibitions, among them, !Presente! The Young Lords (2015) at the Bronx Museum, the Museo del Barrio and the Loisaida Art Center, as well as Ida y Vuelta (2017) organized by the Museo de Antropología, Historia y Arte UPR, CitiCien, 100 artistas 100 años del Jones Act (2018) at the Clemente Soto Vélez, Casa Ruth and Taller Boricua, and El sujeto develado (2019) at the Museo de Arte Dr. Pío López Martínez.

The Clemente and Brooklyn Public Library, in partnership with the Library of America, are proud to present a series of three events this fall celebrating the NYC launch of Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology, edited by celebrated poet Rigoberto González. The series will engage new audiences through music, poetry, and performances.
This series debuts the first thematic track for Historias Sembradas, Everyday Poetics: Ritual and Resistance, which explores the role Latinx poets have played a vital role in shaping diasporic identity, institution building, and community organizing.
The work of New York poets José Martí, Salomón de la Selva, Julia de Burgos, Lourdes Casal, and Clemente Soto Vélez has shaped today’s thriving Latino Poetic tradition and our understanding of what it means to be American. These revolutionary voices represent a range of Latin American geographies and aesthetics, including themes of migration, anti-imperialism, latinidad, language and exile. Join us as we explore the lasting impact of their voices in a multi-dimensional program offered in celebration of the publication of the landmark anthology Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology.
The event will feature a panel moderated by Latino Poetry contributor Edwin Torres with two scholars of Latino poetry in New York—Laura Lomas (Rutgers University-Newark) and Urayoán Noel (New York University). Torres will then lead a Poets Choir through an experimental performance of poems from the anthology in English and Spanish by all five of these poetic ancestors.
Participants:

VLC Forum 2024: Correct History* Tactics of Transmission
Tactics of Transmission
When: Saturday October 26 @ 2:45 - 4:00 PM
Where: The New School, Starr Foundation Hall 63 Fifth Avenue, Lower Level, NYC
Artists: Sofía Gallisá Muriente and Natalia Lassalle Morillo
As part of the Vera List Center Forum 2024: Correct History* The Clemente is thrilled to be co-presenting the performance Tactics of Transmission, on October 26! Over three days, the VLC Forum 2024 explores the ways in which history and historiography invariably function as acts of correction and revision while examining some of the ideological mechanisms that drive them. Discursive strands come together to consider how historical narratives and ideological formations are created, edited, altered, and contested, including historical revisionism, whitewashing, and rehabilitation by state and other hegemonic political actors.
Since 2022, artists Sofía Gallisá Muriente and Natalia Lassalle-Morillo have researched Puerto Rican collections and holdings at the Smithsonian Institution, examining their histories of accession, how they live in off-site storage, and the possibilities for mediating their return to the people and places they belong to. On the occasion of the VLC Forum 2024: Correct History*, the artists’ performance lecture Tactics of Transmission reflects on their experiences as unruly colonial subjects navigating the imperial archive, as well as on the historical gossip, findings, and revelations from their research process. A series of films emerging from this project are exhibited in Cooper Hewitt’s Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial, on view November 2, 2024, through summer 2025.
The program is co-presented with the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center as part of Historias, a multi-year initiative exploring Latinx New York’s transformative impact on the city. Launching in fall 2024, Historias is a partnership with the Latinx Arts Consortium of New York, with lead support from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
The Vera List Center Forum 2024 is presented as part of the center’s 2022–2024 Focus Theme Correction*. It is curated by Eriola Pira with Carin Kuoni, with research support by Ariana Kallinga and is convened with the support of Tabor Banquer, Re’al Christian, and Adrienne Umeh.

Artist Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful invites a group of remarkable Bronxites to co-develop actions embedded in the day-to-day of our beloved borough. The gestures that emerge are presented in private spaces, as well as in the Bronx's public realm, focusing on the roots that weave these visionaries with specific communities and neighborhoods.
Performing the Bronx is also representative of Nicolás’s interest in honoring, recovering and reclaiming herstories/histories/theirstories of the area’s inhabitants that run the risk of being effaced by time, lost in the midst of neighborhoods in flux, or dismissed by dominant discourses that often position themselves at the center of the conversation.
Featuring Bronx artists:

Benny Bonilla

Caridad De La Luz ‘La Bruja’
