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).

Erika Lopez’s The Welfare Queen at BAAD!
Friday, October 2, 8pm/$15
The time has finally come for the unabashed, chick crazy, cartoonist, writer, performer, one-woman art sweatshop ERIKA LOPEZ to bring her fun, daring, sexy and irreverent show for the first time to her native New York providing comfort and cheeky glances to the recession-struck Bronx.“When you’re on welfare and pushing your latest art project in an attempt to pay the rent, what it means to ‘have it all’ obviously require some redefinition.” – Eryn Loeb, blogger.
