"Nuestro cuerpo es mucho más que la apariencia física, mucho más que una talla o una cantidad de kilos. Es el hogar del alma. Cuando honramos su sabiduría podemos descubrir el secreto de la plenitud."

 

Poetry Reading and Sneak Peek of my New Miniature Book

This weekend, I'll be reading poetry during a presentation of 

Breaking Ground: Anthology of Puerto Rican Women Writers in New York 1980-2012/ Abriendo caminos: antología de escritoras puertorriqueñas en Nueva York 1980-2012


Together with Myrna Nieves, the editor of the book and a sublime poet, and Ana López-Betancourt, one of the writers included in the anthology. 

This anthology includes some of the poems I wrote for the artwork of Cuerpo de Batalla. (This is how it goes: I wrote poems, then created art, then wrote new poems for the art...)

Come by if you can make it!

Passages at the Andrew Freedman Home in the Bronx

An invitation from Yolanda L. Rodríguez, MA Ed.and Josué Guarionex Colón:

We would like to invite you to the Opening Night Event for our organization’s latest event "Passages: A Collective Exhibition”, to take place from September 26th to October 10th at the Andrew Freedman Home in the Bronx.

Just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month a Collective of 20 Hispanic artists will explore the human condition at its raw state and how art is the passage to a different Hispanic experience. The art pieces will explore the things to which the human gravitates or holds on to when emotionally charged (religion, politics or social interactions, nostalgia, lust, passion, writing, music, dance).

This event will be a collaboration of artists utilizing a variety of mediums and performance arts. During the 2 weeks of exhibition, Visiones Culturales, LLC, has also planned numerous art workshops for the community and cultural events. These events will be a collaboration between many non-profit organizations and the collective of artists. All of which are committed to and engaged in using their art in many other humanitarian and civic organizations. These are artists giving back to the community!!!

Some of the events include: Ghetto Brothers, Bomba Yo, Workshops by Tanya Torres, Carolina Bermudez, Yarisa Colon; Nilka Martel (Founder of G.I.V.E. Getting Involved, Virginia Ave. Efforts); among others, Noche de Poesía y Música Latinoamericana in collaboration with Asociación Internacional de Poetas y Escritores Hispanos AIPEH NY and Los Chamanes music group, Artist Marqueta in collaboration with the Puerto Rican Institute for the Development of the Arts (PRIDA), Live Art event in collaboration with YUCA Art Project, Artist Q & A and Short Film presentation, Dance Performers, DJs and Live Music.

The paintings, photographs, sculptures, movies, poems and multimedia displays will be curated by Yolanda L. Rodriguez, MA Ed. Installations will be arranged by the collaborating team of our Art Director Josue Guarionex Colon and his team. Artist will include the following names:
