His inspiration extends the dialogue of different musical airs; from the simple acoustic style of his singing to the strength and vibrancy of theatre-esque street carnivals (murgas). He has published three theatre productions\, “Indicio” (2014)\, “Provinciano “(2017) and “Bailando Bailando”(2021). \nHis live theatrical productions have taken him to some of Colombia’s emblematic stages like Teatro Mayor\, Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán\, Rock Nacional\, Colombia al Parque\, Teatro Colón\, Pasto Jazz and more. He has been invited to visit stages on the international scene like Uruguay\, Argentina\, Peru and the US. He has collaborate with artists such as Marta Gómez\, Santiago Cruz\, Vicente García\, Telebit\, Andrés Correa\, Las Áñez\, Edson Velandia\, and the Quintet Leopoldo Federico where he participated with his original song “Una Pena” on the album “Quinteto con voz”\, an album nominated for the Latin Grammy 2020 in the category Best Folk Album. \nThroughout his career\, he’s made it to some of the most important musical charts in Colombia with several productions reaching the #Top20 of Radio Nacional and Radiónica. His album Provinciano was recognized as one of the best albums of the year according to Revista Semana\, El Colombiano\, Revista Shock\, Radio Nacional\, among others. \nIn 2021\, he brings new productions filled with a newly developed style in which he mixes sounds and harmonies inspired by the carnival “murgas” of South Colombia with more contemporary electric elements like samples of a Moog synthesizer\, and the electric guitar\, all while celebrating dance\, tradition\, rock and the Latin street carnivals.

Caragol has led the effort to increase the representation of Latinx historical figures and artists at the museum\, adding over 170 portraits to the collection and ensuring that Latinx contributions to American history and art are interwoven through the museum’s exhibitions and permanent collection. \nBefore joining the National Portrait Gallery\, Caragol was the curator of education at Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, where she organized the museum’s first international symposium on Pre-Raphaelite art and led a program of curatorial and artist talks with contemporary Puerto Rican artists. She was the Museum of Modern Art’s Latin American bibliographer from 2004 to 2007\, and she later worked as a postdoctoral researcher for Latin American Art in the United Kingdom: History\, Historiography\, Specificity\, 1960 to the Present\, an investigation led by the University of Essex (2007–2008). \nCaragol earned her PhD in art history from the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. Her dissertation “Boom and Dust: The Rise of Latin American and Latino Art in New York Exhibition Venues and Auction Houses\, 1970s–1980s\,” examined the incubating role of New York City’s alternative museums and art spaces and market during the “Latin American art boom” of the late 1980s. Caragol has published essays on Latinx and Latin American artists and has also written on the importance of archival preservation in contributing to a better understanding of the history of Latinx and Latin American art in the United States. Her essay on Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Barack Obama was published in The Obama Portraits in February 2020 (Princeton University Press / National Portrait Gallery). She holds an MA in French Studies from Middlebury College and a BA in Modern Languages from the University of Puerto Rico\, Río Piedras\, where she graduated magna cum laude. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

Kendi\, Author of "How to Be an Antiracist" DESCRIPTION:In recognizing the significance of antiracist programming\, HMH has invited Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, one of America’s foremost historians and leading antiracist scholars\, to speak about his 2019 book\, How to Be an Antiracist. Kendi’s presentation will be centered on defining what it means to be antiracist and what actions people can take to clearly see all forms of racism. \nKendi’s concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America—but even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place\, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like\, and how we can play an active role in building it. In his memoir\, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science—including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together in a cogent\, accessible form. He begins by helping us rethink our most deeply held\, if implicit\, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships (including beliefs about race and IQ and interracial social relations) and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. \nKendi is an American author\, professor\, antiracist activist\, and historian of race and discriminatory policy in America. In July 2020\, he assumed the position of director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi was included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nThis virtual event is a recording of a conversation that took place on Thursday\, May 19\, 2021. \nGenerously sponsored by Dr. Anna Steinberger \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/a-conversation-with-dr-ibram-x-kendi-author-of-how-to-be-an-antiracist/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:LECTURE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/kendi-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210619T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210619T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T184348 CREATED:20230802T154647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T154655Z UID:10000156-1624104000-1624107600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Drop-In Virtual Tour | Mandela: Struggle for Freedom DESCRIPTION:Mandela with a raised fist\, moments after his release from prison (after 27 years) on February 11\, 1990.Photograph by Graeme Williams \nExplore Mandela: Struggle for Freedom\, a rich sensory experience of imagery\, soundscape\, digital media and objects\, explores the earthshaking fight for justice and human dignity in South Africa – and its relevance to issues of today.

After completing his first feature length project in 2019\, Alejandro’s interest lies in expanding on the possibilities of nano production models nearing cinema to the individual human scale. Films closer to writing in the simplicity of its material requirements but infinitely complex in its possibilities. \nAnna Veselova (Editor) – Originally from Moscow\, Russia\, Anna moved to Houston\, TX 10 years ago and switched from her career in finance to art photography. Since she was discovered by Getty Images in 2010\, Anna had several exhibitions\, worked on the movie sets as a backstage photographer and as a principal photographer for Houston Cinema Arts Festival where she met Alejandro in 2015.

In the four decades since its publication\, Epstein has published 11 additional books (including Franci’s War\, a memoir of her mother’s life\, in 2020) and has served as a leading voice among descendants of survivors. She is also active in Holocaust memorialization work in the Czech Republic\, where her family is from. As Holocaust survivors get older and their descendants assume the mantle of Holocaust memory\, the issues raised by Epstein’s work are taking on new and important meanings. \nHelen Epstein will be interviewed by Second Generation Holocaust Survivor Sandy Lessig. \nThis program is free\, but registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/a-conversation-with-helen-epstein-second-generation-author/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:LECTURE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/helen-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210930T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210930T193000 DTSTAMP:20260405T184348 CREATED:20230802T134501Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T164211Z UID:10000134-1633024800-1633030200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Citizen Illegal: An Evening with Poet José Olivarez DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Latinx Heritage Month\, join us for a special reading by poet\, educator\, and performer José Olivarez. \nJosé Olivarez is the son of Mexican immigrants.
