Grupo Quisqueyano: The Art of New York

Grupo Quisqueyano, in conjunction with various other Columbia University student organizations and the Center for the Study of Ethnicity & Race (known lovingly as CSER), will be hosting an event exploring the arts throughout the decades in the Latino community of New York City.

The event will be opened by a remarks from Councilwoman Rosie Mendez and will feature a talk by a former member of the Young Lords, performances, poetry, and work from various artists.

Another highlight will be a special screening of the documentary "From Mambo to Hip Hop" with commentary from the actual directors and producers of the film. 70 guest JHS students from the Bronx will also be in attendance.

How will all of this be scrunched into 2 measly hours you ask? You have to be there to find out, as this is definitely not something you want to miss.

Location: Lerner Party Space, Lerner Hall
Date: Friday, October 12 El Día de la Raza
Time: 12-2 pm
