Sancocho LIVE: Essential Infrastructure
June 25, 2020, 7:00 pm
at The Center for the Humanities

How have cultural workers responded to the fundamental needs of their communities in the face of state abandonment?/ ¿De qué forma han respondido los trabajadores culturales las necesidades fundamentales de sus comunidades en respuesta al abandono estatal?

Join The Center for the Humanities for “Essential Infrastructure,'” the final event in a 3-part virtual event series “Sancocho Live: Catastrophe, Resistance, & Joy” which brings together scholars, writers (including UDP translator  Urayoán Noel), artists, and activists to think about how “non-essential” communities, workers, and institutions are responding to the intersecting catastrophes of the present. Drawing inspiration from Pedro Pietri’s concept of the “aesthetic sancocho” each event will consist of short video presentations, followed by a moderated dialogue (open to Q&A) with Puerto Rican cultural workers in the island and the diaspora. We will end with a virtual jangueo where DJ’s set the mood and participants can continue building together.
