Known as “The Cultural Heart of Latino Philadelphia,” Taller is a community-based multidisciplinary arts organization whose work bridges European, African, Caribbean and Latino societies and cultures. Taller’s programs work at the nexus of arts, culture, human rights, and social advocacy to catalyze social change towards community advancement. We offer programs for youth and adults, operate art galleries featuring Latin@ artists, the region’s only bilingual bookstore, sponsor musical and theater events, and organize a range of engaging cultural art education programs. Our education programs for at-risk inner city children and youth offer unique art and educational experiences as an effective vehicle to build creative and competent community members. Taller has thrived in a community struggling with high unemployment and dropout rates, drugs, prejudice, and violence. This stands as a testament to the role Taller plays in celebrating this community’s strength, resilience, diversity and cultural richness.\n\n<h3></h3>\n\n<h3></h3>\n\n<h4> The Director and Our Staff</h4>\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_2820\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/about/a-message-from-the-director/\"><img class=\"wp-image-2820 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Carmen-Febo-San-Miguel-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Carmen Febo San Miguel\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Carmen Febo San Miguel, Executive Director[/caption]\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<em> *Click on each photo for staff profile information </em>\n\n[gallery columns=\"4\" ids=\"1703,2172,1705,1630,2484,1706,2173,1707,1629,2015,2858\"]\n\n<h3>Board of Directors</h3>\n\n<strong>Edgardo González, Board Chair </strong>\nLegislative Assistant\nOffice of State Representative J.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\n\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\n\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\n\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Rosemary A.

Bennett </strong>is professor in the Ph.D Program in History, the Graduate Center, at the City University of New York (CUNY) since 2009. He received a masters and Ph.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

In addition to Temple, he has taught at the Florida International University, at State University of Haiti in Port-au-Prince, and at the National University of Zaire. Among many publications and articles he co-authored with Alex Stepick Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith: Haitian Religion in Miami, York University Press, 2013, and Our Lady of Class Struggle: The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Haiti. Trenton, NJ and Asmara, Eritrea: Africa World Press, 1999.\n\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>“In Times of Solidarity and Tragedy: Haitians Across the Americas”</strong></p>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Jeanette Charles </strong>is presently in the Doctoral Program in Strategic Development, with Mention in Multipolarity and the Integration of Our America in Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela (November 2013-present), Caracas, Venezuela.

Watson Fellowship, in 2010, and a Samella Lewis Scholarship for Women of African descent, in 2009\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>\"Orishas on Trial: Afro-Caribbean Religions and the American Legal System\" </strong>The presentation will discuss the history of the Haitian diaspora across Latin America and the Caribbean focusing mostly on Haitian experiences in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers. This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality. Her book, Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City (University Of Pennsylvania Press: 2013), was the winner of the 2014 Robert E. Park for best book in urban and community sociology. Her new project examines race and class as enacted in the production of urban residential spaces. She has a bachelor’s degree is Sociology from Harvard University, 1995, a Masters in Sociology from Stanford University, 1997, a Masters in Urban Planning from University of Michigan, 2003 and a Ph.

She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong>\n\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\n\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\n\n&nbsp;\n\nRosemary A.

This presentation explores the ways Latin American nations look to continue their solidarity and cooperation with Haiti.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores</strong> is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino &amp; Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, and a Research Scholar at Penn Institute of Urban Research, Philadelphia. Her research focuses on understanding how the urban built environment mediates community life and social inequality. Her book, Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City (University Of Pennsylvania Press: 2013), was the winner of the 2014 Robert E. Park for best book in urban and community sociology. Her new project examines race and class as enacted in the production of urban residential spaces. She has a bachelor’s degree is Sociology from Harvard University, 1995, a Masters in Sociology from Stanford University, 1997, a Masters in Urban Planning from University of Michigan, 2003 and a Ph. D in Public Policy and Sociology also from the University of Michigan, 2005. She is the author of many articles, reviews and reports that include: “Where Rights Begin and End: Community and Democracy behind Puerto Rico’s Gated Communities” Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, 33 (2012). “Latinos as Protagonists in American Urban History and Planning Practice.” Journal of Urban History, 34(4) (2008). She has lectured extensively throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>“Are We Between or Within Black and White? Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong>\r\n\r\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRosemary A.

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

As historically-minded thinkers we might assume that change over time and space represents a common sense in the study of black life. I want to suggest that this isn’t necessarily the case regarding the long duree that frames the African and black pasts, free or slave, early modern and post-colonial or for that matter in the present. Indeed when we imagine either African or black, an embodied violence always already informs our thinking that rarely is subject to analytical scrutiny, a history, or temporality. In view of Michael Brown\'s death and the mantra \'black life matters,\' the urgency to think historically acquires an urgency that might call forth greater clarity on the history of violence and the contemporary story of power shaping the history and present of black life.</p>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Terry Rey </strong>completed undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Linguistics from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and a BA in Philosophy and Religion (with “Distinction”).

Recent manifestations of Haitian migration are a contemporary exodus part of the historical trajectory of the larger African diaspora.  The conditions facing Haitians in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela are not without their contradictions and challenges ranging from laws rendering thousands of Haitians stateless to human trafficking of Haitian laborers.

Racial Inequality and the Myths of Inclusion in Puerto Rico”</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"></p>\r\nDr. Dinzey-Flores consults socio-economic evidence to understand how race and racial inequality operate in Puerto Rico. Like much of Latin America and Latinos, Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are often depicted as having a more democratic view of race when compared to the United States. This view places Latinos between Black and White and promotes a myth of racial equality among our communities. The presentation considers how race is elaborated in the everyday not through the continuum of Black to White, but in polar binary oppositions of Black and White that concretize social and economic inequality.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Lunchtime Roundtable “Afro-Latinos on the Move:  Implications for Social Workers”</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Moderated </strong>by Rosemary Barbera and Veronica Medina\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRosemary A.
