SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Radical Sovereignties\, Radical Archives: The Archivo Histórico de Vieques
DESCRIPTION:Vulnerable communities enact sovereignties that decenter the state while strengthening relationships on which survival depends. This panel will delve into such radical praxis through a closer look at archiving and the Archivo Histórico de Vieques. The AHV is a community archive born out of the struggle against the U.S. Navy’s occupation of Vieques\, Puerto Rico (1940s-2003). In the early days\, it aimed to give voice to Viequenses and to counter the silences imposed by colonialism. Today\, the AHV continues to cultivate community-centered stories. Moreover\, it empowers community members to narrate history in their own terms and to\, through such enactment of narrative sovereignty\, chart out Viequense futures. This panel will accordingly address how archiving can be a praxis for narrative sovereignty that enables communities to reclaim their stories\, counteract historical erasures and assert control over their collective memory. Panelists include historians and archivist from the Puerto Rican archipelago and diaspora.

SUMMARY:La Meriendita: Call Me Roberto
DESCRIPTION:Join CENTRO in East Harlem for La Meriendita\, a story hour dedicated to children’s books! This month’s Meriendita is Call Me Roberto\, written by Nathalie Alonso and illustrated by Rudy Gutierrez. \n\n\n\nRoberto Clemente always loved baseball. Growing up in Carolina\, Puerto Rico\, he swung tree branches (since he didn’t have a bat) and hit tin cans. He was always batting\, pitching\, running\, sliding. His dedication paid off when\, at the age of 19\, he was tapped for a major league team. \n\n\n\nAn inspirational story of Major League Baseball player Roberto Clemente—not Bob—who endured years of racism and discrimination to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time. \n\n\n\nBring your little ones by for snacks and a story that celebrates food\, family\, and working together! \n\n\n\nThis event is presented in collaboration with the East Harlem Tutorial Program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Cover by Rudy Gutierrez

SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Jose Nogueras: Boricua Donde Quiera
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off the Navidad Season with IBA is Jose Nogueras!\n\nJosé Nogueras is one of Puerto Rico’s most versatile songwriters and singers. He has managed to reach the top of the music charts (Hit parade) in rock\, ballad\, Creole music and even tropical music.\n\nCheo Feliciano\, Rubén Blades\, Hector Lavoe\, Ismael Miranda\, Willie Colón\, Gilberto Santarrosa\, Manny Manuel\, Shakira\, Danny Rivera\, Los Hispanos\, Fernando Villalona and Olga Tañón are some of the artists who have performed his compositions.\n\nNogueras has been awarded over the years with important awards such as; “Composer of the Year” (Billboard Magazine)\, “Singer of the Year” (Agüeybana and Cemí Awards)\, “Christmas Production of the Year” and his compositions have always been distinguished by their simplicity\, depth and universal feeling.\n\nBorn in the town of Mayaguez where he was born on June 18\, 1951\, son of José Nogueras Chapel (QPD)\, from the town of Añasco and Milka Vega Soto from the city of cucumber\, San Sebastián. From an early age he felt a passion for music\, an inspiration that he has always channeled through the instrument he enjoys the most… the guitar. His father was a simple and humble human being\, with an extraordinary talent for poetry and perhaps it has been that vein that has allowed the development of José Nogueras as an author.\n\nAt the age of eight he came to reside in the city of Rio Piedras where he feels like an adopted son. During his school years\, between the ages of 8 and 16\, he participated in a number of musical groups. At the age of 17 he began his foray into music professionally.\n\nTheir record productions have been characterized by their excellent quality\, both technically and musically. Each of them is framed in a concept\, distinguished by its sensitivity and innovative way of harmonizing the topics.\n\nJosé Nogueras’ music has not only managed to captivate the Puerto Rican public with its contagious rhythm and flavor\, but has also been recognized in other Latin American countries and in the Hispanic sector of the United States.

SUMMARY:(Partner Event) El taller de Naldi / Naldi's Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Film screening at the International Puerto Rican Heritage Film Festival on November 17th\, 2024 at 2:00 PM.\n\nLogline: An octogenarian folk-artist uses his paintings to recount Puerto Rican family and life histories to his grandson.\n\nA film by Carlos Rivera Fernandez and Arnaldo Fernandez Cruz\n\nProduced by Películas Viejas Productions for the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology\n\nEl Taller de Naldi is a journey that chronicles a visual history of Puerto Rico\, inspired by the paintings of Arnaldo Fernandez Cruz\, an octogenarian folk artist. Together with his grandson\, filmmaker Carlos\, this painter and director pair become the authors of a narrative that shines a perennial\, memorial light on Arnaldo’s hometown of Cupey. Through a series of testimonies\, ranging from hilarious epithets of his rural youth to unsettling histories from Puerto Rico’s colonial past\, the film captures the essence of the place and its people. Simultaneously\, Arnaldo and Carlos collaborate in a reciprocal creative process\, engaging deeply with each other’s work. By mixing historiography and folklore with an experimental approach to the artist’s craft\, El Taller de Naldi is at once a meditation on the role of art in preserving a national memory\, and an intimate portrait of the personal relationship between a grandfather and his grandson.
