Join us for a book presentation featuring artwork and performances created alongside the book, grounded in love, justice and passion.

Join us for the launch of Encuentros, a multidisciplinary poetry anthology brought to life through visual art, performance, and community collaboration. This special event gathers the paintings, quilts, and video work created alongside the book, presented together for the first time in a public exhibition.

Throughout the evening, guests are invited to explore the artwork and meet the artists. The program also features an artist talk with Elisabet Díaz Cintrón and Sylvia Hernández, as well as poetry-based performances with Mario Cancel Bigay, Efrén Olson-Sánchez, and Jorge Luis Berríos.

Rooted in themes of love, justice, memory, and communal storytelling, Encuentros reflects two years of creative work developed during a residency at El Puente. This event celebrates that journey and invites the community to share in it.
