Latino Heritage Month Reminders
5 Oct 2011Lots going on regarding Latino Heritage Month, and Meagan, as usual, did a fab job of reminding readers of the complexity of this month’s celebrations. I wanted to highlight a few things for VL readers:
30 Days of Latino Heritage Tumblr page which Maegan created in 2009 is still up and running! You may submit something that represents Latino heritage to you and see what others have posted and shared.
LatiNegr@s Tumblr page is also still up and running! This was something I co-created after being inspired by Maegan’s 30 Days of Latino Heritage Tumblr and highlights/centers the experiences, realities, narratives, testimonies, and representations of LatiNegr@s/Afr@Latin@s/BlakTin@s/etc. You may also submit something to this Tumblr page as well. There is also a Twitter account that you may follow @BeingAfroLatino.
October 15 is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day and we encourage you to get tested for HIV to know your status! There are many was to find FREE and quick testing sites all over the US. Place your zip code at this site and it will give you locations in that area.
And a shameless plug, over at RH Reality Check, I’m focusing on Latin@s whose work impacts the reproductive justice movement. I did this last year as well and highlighted 5 folks and I plan to do the same this year as well. Posting is not on a specific schedule so check back for any updates.
As the 30 Days of Latino Heritage continues (don’t forget to submit something to the tumblr site Maegan created!), highlights from the Bronx Academy of Art and Dance (BAAD!) BlakTino Series have been captured! BAAD!’s goal with the BlakTino Series is to represent the African and indeginous communities that are often forgotten/ignored/excluded in the Latino experience/history/heritage.
If you missed the first two programs, one of Queer BlakTino Cartoonists/Illustrators and Erika Lopez’s performance, check out the videos below which are both from GRITtv with Laura Flanders.
Queering The Lines of Cartoons features Jennifer Camper, Carlo Quispe, and Erika Lopez who were three of four artist on the panel. Ivan Velez, Jr. was not able to attend the interview but was present on the panel. Visit the Bronx News Network site to see fotos of the panel!
Below is a clip from the first part of Erika Lopez‘s “Nothing Left But The Smell” one-woman show about her experiences as a Black-Puerto Rican Bisexual Artist and how she realized and coped with her new identity: Welfare Queen. Some language in the video is Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
