Encuentros: Book Presentation, Art Exhibition And Performance

Join us for the launch of Encuentros, a multidisciplinary poetry anthology brought to life through visual art, performance, and community collaboration. This special event gathers the paintings, quilts, and video work created alongside the book, presented together for the first time in a public exhibition. Throughout the evening, guests are invited to explore the artwork and meet the artists. The program also features an artist talk with Elisabet Díaz Cintrón and Sylvia Hernández, as well as poetry-based performances with Mario Cancel Bigay, Efrén Olson-Sánchez, and Jorge Luis Berríos. Rooted in themes of love, justice, memory, and communal storytelling, Encuentros reflects two years of creative work developed during a residency at El Puente. This event celebrates that journey and invites the community to share in it.What to ExpectMultidisciplinary art exhibition (paintings, quilts, video)Artist TalkLive performances inspired by the poemsBook presentation + Q&AArt and books available for purchaseA welcoming community space open to all Free community event.
