Opening Panel Discussion:

What Unites and Defines a Community  

3 PM, Saturday, January 26, 2013

at Taller Puertorriqueño

The first of two panel discussions as part of Taller Puertorriqueño's Claiming Places: Unity, Ownership, and “Hogar” (Home) exhibition cycle.  Through art, dance, and architecture, staged in a variety of Taller’s spaces (its gallery walls, its garden, and a neighborhood parking lot - the physical site of Taller’s new facility), this year’s theme seeks to reveal, question, and engage the community in a dialogue  exploring  “ownership” and the consequences of making a space your own. 

Join panelists: artists Merián Soto and César Viveros Herrera; Taller’s Executive Director, Carmen Febo San Miguel; artist and teacher at Taller's education program, Caitlin Peck;  and architect J.C. Calderon, as moderator, and become part of this thought - provoking conversation.
