(Partner Event) Documentary Filmmaking and Black Spirituality in Puerto Rico

Join us for a Women’s History Month Community Event hosted by Baruch’s Black and Latino Studies Department with filmmaker Rosamary Berríos Hernández in conversation with Dr. Margarita Rosa, Visiting Assistant Professor of BLS, and Dr. Rojo Robles, Assistant Professor at BLS and curator of the Roots and Tides film festival. Rosamary Berríos Hernández’s film Santiago de las Mujeres screens at Mishkin Gallery from March 3-7. This bilingual conversation with Berríos, organized by the Black Studies Colloquium, offers audiences a compelling opportunity to engage with documentary filmmaking in a dynamic and participatory manner. The event will focus on ethical filmmaking practices, Black spirituality and culture in Puerto Rico, and women’s narratives, drawing inspiration from Berríos’s film Santiago de las Mujeres (2023). Attendees will have the chance to interact directly, providing feedback on film sequences and engaging in discussions about Afro-Puerto Rican topics with Berríos.
