Participants: Jorge Díaz, José “Pepe” Flores, Libertad Guerra, and José Laguarta Ramírez
This conversation brings together scholars and activists from the diaspora and the archipelago, and across different generations, to talk about their experiences in popular education, community organizing, diaspora, and the relationship between the arts, culture, and radical politics. The dialogue between longtime Lower East Side resident and activist José “Pepe” Flores (of La Sala de Pepe) and longtime Santurce resident and activist Jorge Díaz (of AgitArte/Papel Machete) will be the main focus, with reflections on the significance of these themes for the broader Puerto Rican radical tradition.
Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
