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_2829\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/about/a-message-from-the-director/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"wp-image-2829 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Carmen-Febo-San-Miguel-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Carmen Febo-San Miguel\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Carmen Febo-San Miguel, Executive Director, cfebo@tallerpr.org[/caption]\n\n<em> *Click on a photo for staff profile information </em>\n\n[gallery columns=\"4\" ids=\"4283,3915,3829,5147,3851,3833,3835,3864,1629,3652\"]\n\n<h3>Board of Directors</h3>\n\n<strong>Edgardo González, Board Chair\n</strong>Legislative Assistant to PA State Representative J.P.

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.\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h4> The Director and Our Staff</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2829\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/about/a-message-from-the-director/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"wp-image-2829 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Carmen-Febo-San-Miguel-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Carmen Febo-San Miguel\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Carmen Febo-San Miguel, Executive Director, cfebo@tallerpr.org[/caption]\r\n\r\n<em> *Click on a photo for staff profile information </em>\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" ids=\"4283,3915,3829,5147,3851,3833,3835,3864,1629,3652\"]\r\n<h3>Board of Directors</h3>\r\n<strong>Edgardo González, Board Chair\r\n</strong>Legislative Assistant to PA State Representative J.P.

Both artists create images that complicate the traditional distinctions between myths and historical ‘facts’, questioning the very nature of historical narratives. Channeling their own racialized experiences in the United States, the artists explore both Dominican and U.S. African-derived culture and history and challenge constructed racial hierarchies and inequalities in both countries.\n\nAnthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot has explained that dominant historical narratives are constructed according to a Western viewpoint, which assigns power through the emphasis of specific moments and subsequently the creation of ‘silences’, or omissions. Emphasizing the importance of the creation of and access to archives, as well as the contemporary interpretation of history, Trouillot shows that historical narratives are manipulated to reflect the political or financial proclivities of those in power. Through the lens of race and gender, in Unpacking Hispañola Garcia and Báez expose the flaws within the construction of the historical narrative in the Dominican Republic and the United States. They subsequently parody these flaws through the elaboration of mythological creatures and folklore, which can be considered ‘silences’ in their iteration of the historical narrative. Garcia and Báez blur the boundaries of accepted historical facts and myths, re-creating a narrative that defies racial stereotypes and traditional gender roles.\n\nGrounded in similar political, social, and historical issues, Garcia and Báez create artworks that are instrumental in representing the diasporic transformations of Dominican immigrants in the United States. When living in the United States, Dominican Americans experience a different hegemonic system of racial and gender classification and often redefine their own identity. The artists blur and exaggerate dominant racial and gendered boundaries to recreate a specifically Dominican American subjectivity in an alternative space that exposes and critiques pervasive and global inequalities.\n\nUnpacking Hispañola is curated by Abigail Lapin Dardashti\n\n<strong>Related programs:</strong>\n\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n    <li>February 26, 12 p.m.: <em><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/event/reconsidering-contemporary-latino-art/\" target=\"_blank\">Reconsidering Contemporary Latino Art in the Curatorial Context: Taller Puertorriqueño and Unpacking Hispañola</a>, </em>A Discussion with with the artists and curator at Temple University</li>\n    <li>February 26, 7 p.m.: <em><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/event/self-portrait-family/\" target=\"_blank\">Self Portrait Family</a></em>, a performance by Shaun Leonardo</li>\n    <li>February 27, 9:30 a.m – 5:00 p.m.: <em><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/2015/12/18/2016-schomburg-symposium-program/\" target=\"_blank\">Shifting Identities: Expressing Afrolatinidad</a></em>, 20th Arturo A.

(Taller) is a community-based cultural organization whose primary purpose is to preserve, develop and promote Puerto Rican arts and culture, grounded in the conviction that embracing one\'s cultural heritage is central to community empowerment.  Taller is also committed to the representation and support of other Latino cultural expressions and our common roots.\r\n\r\nTaller was founded in 1974 in Northwest Kensington, Philadelphia as a graphic arts workshop to provide a creative outlet and cultural education for community youth. Today, four decades later, our organization is the longest-operating and largest Latino arts and cultural organization in the Philadelphia region.\r\n\r\nTwitter: @TALLERPR                Facebook: <a title=\"Taller Puertorrequeño\" href=\"Facebook.com/tallerpr.org\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook.com/tallerpr.org</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>CONTACT</strong>\r\n\r\nRafael Damast\r\n\r\nCurator  &amp; Visual Arts Program Manager\r\n\r\nTaller Puertorriqueño\r\n\r\nrdamast@tallerpr.org\r\n\r\n215-426-3311\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/tallerpr\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3252\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Twitter_logo_blue.png\" alt=\"Twitter_logo_blue\" width=\"80\" height=\"65\" /></a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">“.@TallerPR and @TropicalismoPHL team up for a Carnaval extravaganza!”</span></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">“Carnaval en Philly!
