Cafecito con… Máximo Colón & Mónica Félix: Photographing Migration

Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 6 PM ET

Join photographers Máximo Colón & Mónica Félix as they explore their photographs on display as part of the exhibition, Ida y Vuelta: Experiencias de la migración en el arte puertorriqueño contemporáneo at the Hunter College East Harlem Gallery. Explore how these artists have documented the migrations past and present and how their photographs help define the diaspora. Colón & Félix are joined by photojournalist Wanda Benvenutti, who will moderate the conversation.

The exhibit, whose name translates to Arrivals and Departures: Migration Experiences in Contemporary Puerto Rican Art, is curated by Dr. Laura Bravo and features 19 Puerto Rican artists whose works respond to the experience of many Puerto Ricans living abroad. It is on view at Hunter College East Harlem Gallery through December 16.

This event will be recorded and uploaded to the CENTRO YouTube Channel at a later date.
