Motivated by the absence of creative outlets, Taller’s founders developed a community-based graphic arts workshop to provide cultural training alternatives to local youth.\r\n\r\nFor almost four decades, Taller has continued to be a vital resource for progress in the Barrio and the region. It is now recognized as a model organization that uses the arts as a vehicle for social change. In its evolution, Taller has gone from a grassroots, Puerto Rican graphic arts community center to a respected institution that celebrates the arts of Puerto Rico, Latin America and the Caribbean. Providing an outlet for neighborhood children and youth, by providing after-school activities and programming rich in artistic and cultural discipline, remains central to the organizations ongoing work.\r\n\r\nKnown as El Corazón Cultural del Barrio, The Cultural Heart of Latino Philadelphia, Taller Puertorriqueño promotes local and international artists while doing the daily work of transforming children and youth’s artistic visions into realities. Taller Puertorriqueño now encompasses the Julia de Burgos Gift Shop, the Lorenzo Homar Gallery, the Robert E. Hernández Theater, and educational classrooms along Philadelphia’s historically Latino North 5th Street commercial corridor.','About ','','inherit','open','open','','18-revision-v1','','','2013-11-26 20:29:46','2013-11-26 20:29:46','',18,'http://tallerpr.org/?p=19',0,'revision','',0);

Lessons within each packet include age-appropriate craft projects. Each teacher packet was thoroughly researched and offers supplemental materials for study, for learning about community resources in North Philadelphia, and a bibliography. The kits are self-contained packages for easy use and implementation in an educational setting. The text includes information about the history, culture, art, geography, and social transformations, in this case, Puerto Rico.

YAP provides students an opportunity to build a solid portfolio of work for art college application or other post-secondary pursuits. Our program gives young artists tools they will need to thrive in a competitive academic arts world.\r\n\r\nThrough exploratory field trips, researching colleges and careers for their “college task lists,” spending time with and learning from successful visiting artists, and maintaining a close mentor relationship with the YAP instructor, students learn about possible career paths in the arts and get motivated in their artwork, homework and academics.\r\n\r\nStudents take classes at Taller three days a week after school, Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays. All students attend on Fridays for field trips, joint projects, or experimentation with new art-making techniques. Some field trips the YAP instructor has organized include: art galleries and museums, career fairs, college tours (the Community College of Philadelphia, area arts colleges), the library, and observational drawing outside.\r\n\r\nTo ensure quality instruction, the program presently accepts 15 students. Students make a two-year commitment so the program can fully foster their professional development. Classes form in the fall.

Taller’s unique multi-disciplinary arts and cultural curricula integrate academics with art skill development as tools to foster student development, reinforce their Latino identity, build self-esteem, and promote social inclusion at all levels and ages, encouraging their development as active citizens proud of their artistic heritage.\r\n\r\nOur Cultural Exploration Program (CEP) introduces students to basic arts skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, dance, photography, drama and more. The program is divided into the Cultural Awareness Program (CAP, ages 5-10) and the Advanced Cultural Exploration program (ACE, ages 11-14) and runs from 3:00-6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. We recently separated the Cultural Exploration Program into CAP and ACE to provide the most fun, interesting and appropriate programming for children and youth of different ages. A talented team of bilingual artists, tutors and staff provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to develop their creativity, build their self-esteem, and strengthen academic skills.\r\n\r\nCEP also introduces students to renowned local artists, performers, and educators who guide children on this journey of self-discovery. Children leave Taller’s educational programs assured that the artistic and cultural history of the Latino community is their own, and well-equipped to make their own contributions to their neighborhoods and beyond.\r\n\r\nDay to day, students may learn about important artists or various Latino cultures and histories, work individually or in small groups on drawing, painting, or sculpture, or participate in dance or theater activities. Monday-Thursday, students also participate in our Homework Club, which provides structured quiet time for students to work on their homework and receive one-on-one support and tutoring with program counselors as necessary.\r\n\r\nArt projects vary depending upon students’ ability or age level, the instructor’s syllabus, and theme for the year. This past semester, our art education staff developed “Fun Friday” clubs, with subjects chosen by the students. Recently, our students chose cooking, fashion, American Sign Language, guitar, science, drama, break-dancing and more, incorporating math, science or literacy learning easily and keeping with the “Fun” in “Fun Fridays.”\r\n\r\nWe also offer a six-week multidisciplinary children’s summer arts camp. The six-week summer program offers daily art instruction, performing art classes, physical and fun activities and field trips.\r\n\r\nEach one of the three yearly sessions concludes with exhibition of the work and a Talent Show.\r\nLow-income opportunities and Health Partners Plans grants available.\r\nPrograms run after school Monday through Friday from 3:00-6:00 p.m.\r\n\r\nTo register your child or youth, or for more information about programming, costs, and scholarship opportunities, please contact Adela at (215) 423-6320 or arivera@tallerpr.org.\r\n\r\nOur Education Building is located at 2557-59 North 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19133.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Cultural Exploration Program','','inherit','open','open','','44-revision-v1','','','2013-11-27 00:40:55','2013-11-27 00:40:55','',44,'http://tallerpr.org/?p=45',0,'revision','',0);

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&nbsp;\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[gallery type=\"rectangular\" link=\"none\" ids=\"1656,1708,1706,1710,1628,1707,1705,1704,1629,1703,1680,1630\"]\n\n<em> </em>','Who We Are','','inherit','open','open','','18-autosave-v1','','','2014-03-17 18:29:02','2014-03-17 22:29:02','',18,'http://tallerpr.org/2013/11/28/18-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

Conociéndote builds on Taller\'s programming strengths to integrate five exhibition sites centering around three commissioned, month-long, multi-media, socially relevant outdoor art installations in and around its campus at the intersection of 5th Street and Lehigh Avenue, an area known as El Centro de Oro (The Golden Center), a commercial/residential Latino neighborhood. The innovative, fresh, contemporary art will attract Philadelphia’s Center City arts audience while increased access, welcoming and encouragement will allow local residents to demystify and interact with exhibited artwork, bringing economically, educationally and culturally disparate groups together and building bridges between communities. <b></b>\r\n\r\nThree events in 2014 serve as installation openings, accompanied by exhibits at four partner organizations and Taller\'s own gallery. Outreach will be done to school groups and our afterschool students to tour the exhibits. Music and dance performances will enhance each event.\r\n\r\n<strong>May</strong>: New York-based artists Patricia Cazorla and Nancy Saleme will paint large, semi-permanent murals of colorful decorative lace patterns (brocados) in conspicuous locations on the ground in the nearby surface parking lot and on the walls of our Vestíbulo gallery at the entrance of our store/gallery building. By bringing elaborate, domestic objects into unexpected settings, this work challenges the viewer’s relationship with space.\r\n\r\n<strong>July</strong>: Philadelphia-based artist José A. Ortiz Pagán will transform the garden area alongside our store/gallery building into a “sanctuary” for community residents to rest, interact and become comfortable, drawing on the arts to strengthen neighborhood life. The piece will include film screenings about the Latino Diaspora, large painted maps of the neighborhood, and a sound installation of compiled outdoor recordings of barrios in other cities and countries.\r\n\r\n<strong>September</strong>: Collaborative duo Maya Escobar and Andria Morales will produce an extension of their ongoing project, American Media Output, an online brand design and marketing agency addressing the consequences of proposed immigration legislation in the U.S. The piece will include bus station ads, a tent staffed with promo models at our annual Feria del Barrio festival, and, in our gallery, documentation from previous interventions, a marketing agency desk and scheduled artist meetings with visitors.\r\n\r\nTo build connections between Taller and attendees and between attendees themselves, Twitter and Facebook accounts will be created to publish live tweets and status updates during events, encouraging participants to travel between exhibits. A page dedicated to Conociéndote content will also be added to our website to provide information before and documentation after each event.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GetFile-7.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-255\" alt=\"Knight Foundation Logo Med\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GetFile-7.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"50\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GetFile-7.jpg\"><a href=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GetFile-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-251 aligncenter\" alt=\"Andy Warhol Foundation Logo\" src=\"http://tallerpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GetFile-2.jpg\" width=\"204\" height=\"20\" /></a></a></p>\r\n&nbsp;','Getting to Know You (Conociéndote) Exhibition Cycle','','inherit','open','open','','294-revision-v1','','','2013-11-29 08:28:18','2013-11-29 13:28:18','',294,'http://tallerpr.org/2013/11/29/294-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

However, there are also unique national and cultural variations between them as a result of their own indigenous heritages and/or regional histories. Contemporary artists and crafts people, sensitive to their cultural representations, understand that their recognized icons can be used to communicate essential ideas and meanings. To fully grasp an artist’s intent, the spectator must become familiar with the significance of the culturally specific iconographic content.  This project presents the diversity of the Latino community and to deepen the understanding between Latinos of different backgrounds and ethnicities. On our website, dialogue is being further supported, encouraged and promoted through full show descriptions, artists’ bios, introductions, and explanations of the iconography in their work. The public is encouraged to share their personal experiences about cultural differences, similarities and meaning through our web site and social media outlets.\r\n\r\nOur 2013-14 exhibition cycle, <b><i>Taken: Iconography and Intent in Contemporary Latino Art (Taken)</i></b><i>, </i>is a sampling of artworks that introduce and equip the viewer with key knowledge and tools to reach a deeper understanding of Latino culture and Non-Western art. <i>Taken </i>will consist of a series of three group shows, each with its own central focus. The first show centered on the vejigante mask making tradition, and illustrated how traditional iconography transitions into personal artistic statements. The second show features two artists who thematically incorporate distinct female cultural imagery in their contemporary works that explore transcendental and philosophical meanings. The final show exhibits five artists who use contemporary iconography to address issues that are of political importance and relevance. Participating artists and crafts people were selected from the United States and Puerto Rico with connections to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador. The cycle is comprised of group shows to allow the viewers to compare and contrast the works side by side. At the end of the cycle, glossaries of terms will be packaged and made available to our program participants on our web site as an educational tool. These works strongly connect with the cultural and historical circumstances and diversity of Philadelphia’s Latino community and adds varied perspectives to the theme, helping to create bridges among different communities..\r\n\r\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A Contemporary Madonna Counterpoint: Mexico and Puerto Rico</span></i> (January 31 - April 12, 2014) </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Tlisza Jaurique</b>, born in Phoenix, Arizona, is of Basque and Yaqui origins. Her work frequently utilizes iconic female Mexican ancestral figures that reference tradition and history while blending new mediums and contemporary styles with inherited aesthetics and cultural practices. Jaurique seeks to find, as she describes, “reconciliation and equity between three influential and defining aesthetic structures--my indigenous/tribal upbringing (Yaqui and Nahua/Mexic<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a</span>), my formal Occidental/Euro/American education, and influential historic/contemporary Asian philosophies/aesthetics.” The use of glitter is central to her style as, “a medium to address concepts of reflections, multiplicity and change.” <b>Daniel de Jesus</b>, a Puerto Rican American from Philadelphia, PA, is a painter and accomplished musician. His most recent work pays homage to Puerto Rico’s African heritage. De Jesus describes his work as his way to “explore the Afro-Boricua mysticism, the resistance of assimilation, colonial life, and the Moorish presence in the island through the eyes of foreign nostalgia and extreme romanticism.” His primary imagery is the female figure presented in a dreamlike world with surrealist attributes. In this show, he plans to further investigate his heritage by <i>bringing together visual arts with his music</i> <i>on opening night</i>. Representing Mexico and Puerto Rico, this show will work to bridge the predominantly Puerto Rican community of North Philadelphia with the Mexican-dominated community of South Philadelphia through collaborations with Mexican-focused groups such as Casa Monarca and the Mexican Cultural Center.\r\n\r\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Iconography of Meaning in Contemporary Art</span></i> (May 2<sup>nd</sup> – July 26<sup>th</sup>, 2014) </b>\r\n\r\nThis final exhibition features five distinct artists who use new, contemporary iconographies to convey varying ideas and feelings about cultural identity, politics and the immigrant experience. <b>Cecile Chong</b>, an Ecuadorian artist born to Chinese parents, addresses “the process of cultural assimilation and the development of individual identity.” A <i>guagua</i> is a tightly wrapped baby placed into an oversized shawl or blanket and strapped onto the mother’s back. These are familiar sights throughout the Andes, and for Chong, the <i>guaguas</i> (thumb babies) of her installations and sculptures are icons of her birthplace that, in her words, “suggest a blank slate, ready to witness and experience cultural encounter<i>.”</i> <i>Guaguas</i> effectively communicate the experience of displacement and cultural alienation she has felt. Being a child of immigrants herself, her work demonstrates how the Latino identity is not static; rather, it is continually conceived in a melting pot of perspectives. <b>Patricia Cazorla</b> and <b>Nancy Saleme</b>, a niece and aunt team of Peruvian and Venezuelan heritage will bring their project “Garden of Opportunities” to Taller. In their sculptural mixed-media installations, they draw attention to the practice of migrant child labor in farming with graphite-drawn life size cutouts of children against paisley-like forms. The imagery refers to the dangers of the immigrant experience and to their shared feelings of being far from home. “When you see yourself represented for the first time, you realize that you are not alone,” Cazorla states. <b>Ramón Lopez Colón</b> uses symbolism in his paintings specific to Puerto Rico. In a semi-autobiographical series, he has used the three main political parties’ colors (blue, red and green) and the lamb from the official seal of Puerto Rico, placed in other contexts, to depict the many political contradictions and stormy realities of modern day Puerto Rico. An example is the <i>tiffin </i>can, the working man’s lunch box of earlier times, normally an element of memory and history, which, when painted in the colors of the ineffective political parties, they depict that, as stated by Dr. Laura Bravo in a statement about Lopez Colón’s recent work, “any gleam of hope ends up in a torrent of despair.” Award winning artist <b>Favianna Rodriguez</b> is a printmaker and digital artist from Oakland who creates politically charged, timely, and striking prints. Her intention as an artist is to function as an agent of change, inspired and informed by the stylistic and radical impact of Chicano painters and printmakers. Frequently utilizing distinctly Chicano features in her representations, Rodriguez’s visual message speaks out against anti-immigrant policies, racism, homophobia, sexism and corporate irresponsibility.

However, there are also unique national and cultural variations between them as a result of their own indigenous heritages and/or regional histories. Contemporary artists and crafts people, sensitive to their cultural representations, understand that their recognized icons can be used to communicate essential ideas and meanings. To fully grasp an artist’s intent, the spectator must become familiar with the significance of the culturally specific iconographic content.  This project will present the diversity of the Latino community and deepen the understanding between Latinos of different backgrounds and ethnicities. The premise will be incorporated into Taller’s Education Program’s yearly theme in all disciplines including art, dance, and theater to promote self-understanding, self-respect and appreciation for cultural diversity.  In 2011, Taller’s outreach program brought over 1,500 students to our galleries for guided tours to specific exhibitions.  Taller will continue these efforts with future exhibitions.  On our website, dialogue will be further supported, encouraged and promoted through full show descriptions, artists’ bios, introductions, and explanations of the iconography in their work. A glossary of terms will be posted and updated and expanded with each show. The public will be encouraged to share their personal experiences about cultural differences, similarities and meaning through that web site.\r\n\r\nOur 2013-14 exhibition cycle, <b><i>Taken: Iconography and Intent in Contemporary Latino Art (Taken)</i></b><i>, </i>is a sampling of artworks that introduce and equip the viewer with key knowledge and tools to reach a deeper understanding of Latino culture and Non-Western art. <i>Taken </i>will consist of a series of three group shows, each with its own central focus. The first show centers on the vejigante mask making tradition, and will illustrate how traditional iconography transitions into personal artistic statements. The second show features two artists who thematically incorporate distinct female cultural imagery in their contemporary works that explore transcendental and philosophical meanings. The final show exhibits five artists who use contemporary iconography to address issues that are of political importance and relevance. Participating artists and crafts people were selected from the United States and Puerto Rico with connections to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador. The cycle is comprised of group shows to allow the viewers to compare and contrast the works side by side. To provide context and meaning for each show, a glossary of regional differences and traditions (broken down into key concepts and vocabulary terms) will be created. These glossaries will be printed and distributed among gallery visitors, including school students and posted and updated on the website.  At the end of the cycle, the glossaries will be packaged and be made available to our program participants and on our web site as an educational tool. These works strongly connect with the cultural and historical circumstances and diversity of Philadelphia’s Latino community and adds varied perspectives to the theme, helping to create bridges among different communities..\r\n\r\n<a title=\"Vejigantes of Puerto Rico: Origins, Myths, &amp; Messengers\" href=\"http://tallerpr.org/2013/10/11/vejigantes-of-puerto-rico-origins-myths-messengers/\"><b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Vejigantes of Puerto Rico: Origins, Myths and Messengers</span></i></b></a><b>   (October 11, 2013 to January 11, 2014)</b>  This survey exhibition brings together reinterpretations of a central figure in Puerto Rico’s culture - the Vejigante. Having evolved from a figure of mystery and mischief in carnivals and festivals in Puerto Rico, the Vejigante has developed into a symbol of cultural identity, resilience, and resistance. The artists in the exhibition  range from the traditional to the contemporary, from the basic role of vejigantes as celebratory figures to iconic messengers of personal and political statements.\r\n\r\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Contemporary Madonna’s Counterpoint: Mexico and Puerto Rico</span></i> (January 31 - April 12, 2014) </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Tlisza Jaurique</b>, born in Phoenix, Arizona, is of Basque and Yaqui origins. Her work frequently utilizes iconic female Mexican ancestral figures that reference tradition and history while blending new mediums and contemporary styles with inherited aesthetics and cultural practices. Jaurique seeks to find, as she describes, “reconciliation and equity between three influential and defining aesthetic structures--my indigenous/tribal upbringing (Yaqui and Nahua/Mexic<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a</span>), my formal Occidental/Euro/American education, and influential historic/contemporary Asian philosophies/aesthetics.” The use of glitter is central to her style as, “a medium to address concepts of reflections, multiplicity and change.” <b>Daniel de Jesus</b>, a Puerto Rican American from Philadelphia, PA, is a painter and accomplished musician. His most recent work pays homage to Puerto Rico’s African heritage. De Jesus describes his work as his way to “explore the Afro-Boricua mysticism, the resistance of assimilation, colonial life, and the Moorish presence in the island through the eyes of foreign nostalgia and extreme romanticism.” His primary imagery is the female figure presented in a dreamlike world with surrealist attributes. In this show, he plans to further investigate his heritage by <i>bringing together visual arts with his music</i> <i>on opening night</i>. Representing Mexico and Puerto Rico, this show will work to bridge the predominantly Puerto Rican community of North Philadelphia with the Mexican-dominated community of South Philadelphia through collaborations with Mexican-focused groups such as Casa Monarca and the Mexican Cultural Center.\r\n\r\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Iconography of Meaning in Contemporary Art</span></i> (May 2<sup>nd</sup> – July 26<sup>th</sup>, 2014) </b>\r\n\r\nThis final exhibition features five distinct artists who use new, contemporary iconographies to convey varying ideas and feelings about cultural identity, politics and the immigrant experience. <b>Cecile Chong</b>, an Ecuadorian artist born to Chinese parents, addresses “the process of cultural assimilation and the development of individual identity.” A <i>guagua</i> is a tightly wrapped baby placed into an oversized shawl or blanket and strapped onto the mother’s back. These are familiar sights throughout the Andes, and for Chong, the <i>guaguas</i> (thumb babies) of her installations and sculptures are icons of her birthplace that, in her words, “suggest a blank slate, ready to witness and experience cultural encounter<i>.”</i> <i>Guaguas</i> effectively communicate the experience of displacement and cultural alienation she has felt. Being a child of immigrants herself, her work demonstrates how the Latino identity is not static; rather, it is continually conceived in a melting pot of perspectives. <b>Patricia Cazorla</b> and <b>Nancy Saleme</b>, a niece and aunt team of Peruvian and Venezuelan heritage will bring their project “Garden of Opportunities” to Taller. In their sculptural mixed-media installations, they draw attention to the practice of migrant child labor in farming with graphite-drawn life size cutouts of children against paisley-like forms. The imagery refers to the dangers of the immigrant experience and to their shared feelings of being far from home. “When you see yourself represented for the first time, you realize that you are not alone,” Cazorla states. <b>Ramón Lopez Colón</b> uses symbolism in his paintings specific to Puerto Rico. In a semi-autobiographical series, he has used the three main political parties’ colors (blue, red and green) and the lamb from the official seal of Puerto Rico, placed in other contexts, to depict the many political contradictions and stormy realities of modern day Puerto Rico. An example is the <i>tiffin </i>can, the working man’s lunch box of earlier times, normally an element of memory and history.  But, when they are painted in the colors of the ineffective political parties, they really depict that, as stated by Dr. Laura Bravo in a statement about Lopez Colón’s recent work, “any gleam of hope ends up in a torrent of despair.” Award winning artist <b>Favianna Rodriguez</b> is a printmaker and digital artist from Oakland who creates politically charged, timely, and striking prints. Her intention as an artist is to function as an agent of change, inspired and informed by the stylistic and radical impact of Chicano painters and printmakers. Frequently utilizing distinctly Chicano features in her representations, Rodriguez’s visual message speaks out against anti-immigrant policies, racism, homophobia, sexism and corporate irresponsibility. Rodriguez states on her website that art, “can deepen compassion and commitment, ignite outrage, elicit laughter and provoke action.”\r\n\r\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Iconographies, Variations and Meaning</span></i>  (Saturday, May 17, 2014)</b>\r\n\r\nModerated by Dr. Susan Aberth, Assistant Professor of Art History at Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Taller will bring together a panel of selected artists from this cycle, all of them as diverse as the community they represent.

Taller’s culturally specific arts programs fulfill this desire, keeping them engaged and excited, boosting self-esteem and artistic and academic achievement. When young people are encouraged to believe they are significant, talented, unique, necessary, and heard, this positive assurance impacts the entire community. Taller\'s out of school time arts programs provide art classes led by experienced teaching artists in various culturally-relevant disciplines that help develop self-esteem, self-expression, and creativity, while also providing academic support. Our programs are geared toward and divided into three age groups: 5-10, 11-14, and 15-18. More information about each program is available at the links above.

YAP provides students an opportunity to build a solid portfolio of work for art college application or other post-secondary pursuits. Our program gives young artists tools they will need to thrive in a competitive academic arts world.\r\n\r\nThrough exploratory field trips, researching colleges and careers for their “college task lists,” spending time with and learning from successful visiting artists, and maintaining a close mentor relationship with the YAP instructor, students learn about possible career paths in the arts and get motivated in their artwork, homework and academics.\r\n\r\nStudents take classes at Taller three days a week after school, Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays. All students attend on Fridays for field trips, joint projects, or experimentation with new art-making techniques. Some field trips the YAP instructor has organized include: art galleries and museums, career fairs, college tours (the Community College of Philadelphia, area arts colleges), the library, and observational drawing outside.\r\n\r\nTo ensure quality instruction, the program presently accepts 15 students. Students make a two-year commitment so the program can fully foster their professional development. Classes form in the fall.

However, there are also unique national and cultural variations between them as a result of their own indigenous heritages and/or regional histories. Contemporary artists and crafts people, sensitive to their cultural representations, understand that their recognized icons can be used to communicate essential ideas and meanings. To fully grasp an artist’s intent, the spectator must become familiar with the significance of the culturally specific iconographic content.  This project presents the diversity of the Latino community and to deepen the understanding between Latinos of different backgrounds and ethnicities. On our website, dialogue is being further supported, encouraged and promoted through full show descriptions, artists’ bios, introductions, and explanations of the iconography in their work. The public is encouraged to share their personal experiences about cultural differences, similarities and meaning through our web site and social media outlets.\n\nOur 2013-14 exhibition cycle, <b><i>Taken: Iconography and Intent in Contemporary Latino Art (Taken)</i></b><i>, </i>is a sampling of artworks that introduce and equip the viewer with key knowledge and tools to reach a deeper understanding of Latino culture and Non-Western art. <i>Taken </i>will consist of a series of three group shows, each with its own central focus. The first show centered on the vejigante mask making tradition, and illustrated how traditional iconography transitions into personal artistic statements. The second show features two artists who thematically incorporate distinct female cultural imagery in their contemporary works that explore transcendental and philosophical meanings. The final show exhibits five artists who use contemporary iconography to address issues that are of political importance and relevance. Participating artists and crafts people were selected from the United States and Puerto Rico with connections to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador. The cycle is comprised of group shows to allow the viewers to compare and contrast the works side by side. At the end of the cycle, glossaries of terms will be packaged and made available to our program participants on our web site as an educational tool. These works strongly connect with the cultural and historical circumstances and diversity of Philadelphia’s Latino community and adds varied perspectives to the theme, helping to create bridges among different communities..\n\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A Contemporary Madonna Counterpoint: Mexico and Puerto Rico</span></i> (January 31 - April 12, 2014) </b>\n\n<b>Tlisza Jaurique</b>, born in Phoenix, Arizona, is of Basque and Yaqui origins. Her work frequently utilizes iconic female Mexican ancestral figures that reference tradition and history while blending new mediums and contemporary styles with inherited aesthetics and cultural practices. Jaurique seeks to find, as she describes, “reconciliation and equity between three influential and defining aesthetic structures--my indigenous/tribal upbringing (Yaqui and Nahua/Mexic<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">a</span>), my formal Occidental/Euro/American education, and influential historic/contemporary Asian philosophies/aesthetics.” The use of glitter is central to her style as, “a medium to address concepts of reflections, multiplicity and change.” <b>Daniel de Jesus</b>, a Puerto Rican American from Philadelphia, PA, is a painter and accomplished musician. His most recent work pays homage to Puerto Rico’s African heritage. De Jesus describes his work as his way to “explore the Afro-Boricua mysticism, the resistance of assimilation, colonial life, and the Moorish presence in the island through the eyes of foreign nostalgia and extreme romanticism.” His primary imagery is the female figure presented in a dreamlike world with surrealist attributes. In this show, he plans to further investigate his heritage by <i>bringing together visual arts with his music</i> <i>on opening night</i>.

These are familiar sights throughout the Andes, and for Chong, the <i>guaguas</i> (thumb babies) of her installations and sculptures are icons of her birthplace that, in her words, “suggest a blank slate, ready to witness and experience cultural encounter<i>.”</i> <i>Guaguas</i> effectively communicate the experience of displacement and cultural alienation she has felt. Being a child of immigrants herself, her work demonstrates how the Latino identity is not static; rather, it is continually conceived in a melting pot of perspectives. <b>Patricia Cazorla</b> and <b>Nancy Saleme</b>, a niece and aunt team of Peruvian and Venezuelan heritage will bring their project “Garden of Opportunities” to Taller. In their sculptural mixed-media installations, they draw attention to the practice of migrant child labor in farming with graphite-drawn life size cutouts of children against paisley-like forms. The imagery refers to the dangers of the immigrant experience and to their shared feelings of being far from home. “When you see yourself represented for the first time, you realize that you are not alone,” Cazorla states. <b>Ramón Lopez Colón</b> uses symbolism in his paintings specific to Puerto Rico. In a semi-autobiographical series, he has used the three main political parties’ colors (blue, red and green) and the lamb from the official seal of Puerto Rico, placed in other contexts, to depict the many political contradictions and stormy realities of modern day Puerto Rico. An example is the <i>tiffin </i>can, the working man’s lunch box of earlier times, normally an element of memory and history, which, when painted in the colors of the ineffective political parties, they depict that, as stated by Dr. Laura Bravo in a statement about Lopez Colón’s recent work, “any gleam of hope ends up in a torrent of despair.” Award winning artist <b>Favianna Rodriguez</b> is a printmaker and digital artist from Oakland who creates politically charged, timely, and striking prints. Her intention as an artist is to function as an agent of change, inspired and informed by the stylistic and radical impact of Chicano painters and printmakers. Frequently utilizing distinctly Chicano features in her representations, Rodriguez’s visual message speaks out against anti-immigrant policies, racism, homophobia, sexism and corporate irresponsibility. Rodriguez states on her website that art, “can deepen compassion and commitment, ignite outrage, elicit laughter and provoke action.”\n\n<b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Iconographies, Variations and Meaning</span></i>  (Saturday, May 17, 2014)</b>\n\nModerated by Dr. Susan Aberth, Assistant Professor of Art History at Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Taller will bring together a panel of selected artists from this cycle, all of them as diverse as the community they represent.

The final show exhibits five artists who use contemporary iconography to address issues that are of political importance and relevance. Participating artists and crafts people were selected from the United States and Puerto Rico with connections to Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela and Ecuador. The cycle is comprised of group shows to allow the viewers to compare and contrast the works side by side.

The innovative, fresh, contemporary art will attract Philadelphia’s Center City arts audience while increased access, welcoming and encouragement will allow local residents to demystify and interact with exhibited artwork, bringing economically, educationally and culturally disparate groups together and building bridges between communities. <b></b>\r\n\r\nThree events in 2014 serve as installation openings, accompanied by exhibits at four partner organizations and Taller\'s own gallery.

By bringing elaborate, domestic objects into unexpected settings, this work challenges the viewer’s relationship with space.\r\n\r\n<strong>July</strong>: Philadelphia-based artist José A. Ortiz Pagán will transform the garden area alongside our store/gallery building into a “sanctuary” for community residents to rest, interact and become comfortable, drawing on the arts to strengthen neighborhood life. The piece will include film screenings about the Latino Diaspora, large painted maps of the neighborhood, and a sound installation of compiled outdoor recordings of barrios in other cities and countries.\r\n\r\n<strong>September</strong>: Collaborative duo Maya Escobar and Andria Morales will produce an extension of their ongoing project, American Media Output, an online brand design and marketing agency addressing the consequences of proposed immigration legislation in the U.S. The piece will include bus station ads, a tent staffed with promo models at our annual Feria del Barrio festival, and, in our gallery, documentation from previous interventions, a marketing agency desk and scheduled artist meetings with visitors.\r\n\r\nTo build connections between Taller and attendees and between attendees themselves, Twitter and Facebook accounts will be created to publish live tweets and status updates during events, encouraging participants to travel between exhibits.

Taller’s culturally specific arts programs fulfill this desire, keeping them engaged and excited, boosting self-esteem and artistic and academic achievement. When young people are encouraged to believe they are significant, talented, unique, necessary, and heard, this positive assurance impacts the entire community. Taller\'s out of school time arts programs provide art classes led by experienced teaching artists in various culturally-relevant disciplines that help develop self-esteem, self-expression, and creativity, while also providing academic support. Our programs are geared toward and divided into three age groups: 5-10, 11-14, and 15-18. More information about each program is available at the links above.

They are perceived in architecture and design and are based on intentional decisions made or not made by both individuals and the community. Subsequently, the exhibition cycle will delve into the meaning, implication and outcomes of these choices. Ultimately, it will be a chance for Taller to examine what it means to be a part of something larger as Taller takes additional steps in its quest to build a new state of the art cultural center in the heart of its community.</p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe season will consist of performance art, installations, two dimensional work; the use of non-traditional exhibit space like Taller’s newly developed exhibition area, “El Vestíbulo”, at the entrance of its store; and 2 panel discussions. These conversations will be comprised of artists (including those from the exhibitions), activists, scholars and local citizens who will analyze these transformational forces and provide context and open dialogue. Dialogue will be further supported, encouraged and promoted through Taller’s website, in which information, i.e. back-story on each show, is updated throughout the cycle; essays on the exhibit by Taller’s curator, the Executive Director, Architect J.C.

In the book<i> Diálogos, Placemaking in Latino Communities</i>, the writers discuss one definition of place as referring to “territorialized local communities, collective memories associated with territory, claims of authenticity by local actors, phenomenological associations with locales, and social relationships among people in territorial communities.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn1\">[1]</a><b> In other words, place connotes a community’s shared history and experience.</b> The Latino communities of Philadelphia prove this with the music blaring from windows, the murals they choose to put on the sides of their buildings, and the colors with which they embellish their shops. It is, too, in the names they use to name their areas (el Barrio, el Centro de Oro) and in the names of institutions and businesses that string neighborhoods together (HACE, Centro Musical, Roberto Clemente High School, Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Taller Puertorriqueño). It is also marked in the colors and patterns of their national symbols that adorn their busineses, like the white cross with the alternating red &amp; blue of the Dominican Republic’s flag, in the bands of green, white and red of the Mexican flag or in the sky blue, white and red stripes of the Puerto Rican flag. Each is read as a multifaceted proclamation of identity, of coming from one region, of having staked a claim in this area, in this space and for this time.\r\n<div>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"IMG_3925 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8250002602/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_3925\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8338/8250002602_785db4ae81_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Betsy Casañas mural, \"Cruzando el Charco,\" N. 5th  and Dauphin</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n</div>\r\nTaller Puertorriqueño (Taller) recognizes its connection to the community. It knows that through its work it has questioned the misnomer of \"Badlands\" to the area it is in, and reclaiming the pride of culture and contributions of Latinos in this community. With its Meet the Author Series<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn2\">[2]</a>, its Annual Arturo Schomburg Symposium<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn3\">[3]</a> and collaborations with universities and colleges, Taller crosses boundaries, challenges stereotypes and inspires the civic engagement. In its youth education programs it fosters knowledge of arts, cultural history and critical thinking; its 20 years of association with the Philadelphia Art Museum is a great indicator of being a leader in using art as a bridge to cultural and community understanding. It knows it has played a role as an anchor of the neighborhood’s identity, and as a resource and gateway to and for the Latino community. Students and patrons, both from around the city and within the neighborhood, come to Taller to learn about the city’s Puerto Rican roots and its ever-increasing Latino diversity.

Leaders in these communities further convey the needs and aspirations of the citizens in the collaborative organizations they create, like Taller, Juntos, Casa de Venezuela, Casa Monarca and Acción Colombia. “Claiming place” is a conscious act to be seen and heard to belong. Yet, the conversation is never static - circumstances change, wars happen, cataclysms occur, industries go, unemployment rises, and communities age, move, and sometimes mysteriously disappear. These are the challenges we face, as people and as a community, whether consciously or not. Through our exhibition cycle, <i>Claiming Places: Unity, Ownership, and “Hogar” (Home)</i>, Taller, on its blog and in its programs and exhibitions, is providing a space for dialogue in the community.

These transformations fit with the idea of making a home, for a specific place is more than a house or address; it is the space plus the emotional and intellectual connections that were built into it over time. In the book<i> Diálogos, Placemaking in Latino Communities</i>, the writers discuss one definition of place as referring to “territorialized local communities, collective memories associated with territory, claims of authenticity by local actors, phenomenological associations with locales, and social relationships among people in territorial communities.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn1\">[1]</a><b> In other words, place connotes a community’s shared history and experience.</b> The Latino communities of Philadelphia demonstrate this with the music blaring from windows, the murals they choose to put on the sides of their buildings, and the colors with which they embellish their shops. It is, too, in the names they use to identify their areas (el Barrio, el Centro de Oro) and in the names of institutions and businesses that string neighborhoods together (HACE, Centro Musical, Roberto Clemente High School, Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Taller Puertorriqueño). It is also marked in the colors and patterns of their national symbols that adorn their busineses, like the white cross with the alternating red &amp; blue of the Dominican Republic’s flag, in the bands of green, white and red of the Mexican flag or in the sky blue, white and red stripes of the Puerto Rican flag. Each can be read as a multifaceted proclamation of identity, of coming from one region, of having staked a claim in this area, in this space and for this moment in time.\r\n<div>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"IMG_3925 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8250002602/\"><img alt=\"IMG_3925\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8338/8250002602_785db4ae81_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Betsy Casañas mural, \"Cruzando el Charco,\" N. 5th  and Dauphin</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n</div>\r\nTaller Puertorriqueño (Taller) recognizes its connection to the community.

In its youth education programs it fosters knowledge of arts, cultural history and critical thinking; its 20 years of association with the Philadelphia Art Museum is a great indicator of being a leader in using art as a bridge to cultural and community understanding. It knows it has been playing a role as an anchor of the neighborhood’s identity, and as a resource and gateway to and for the Latino community. Students and patrons, both from around the city and within the neighborhood, come to Taller to learn about the city’s Puerto Rican roots and its ever-increasing Latino diversity. More importantly within its programs, it offers context and a safe place to discuss and confront very delicate and volatile issues such as gentrification and the long history of prejudice and classism towards Latino\'s in this country.

In the beginning, it ran a silk-screening operation where its members learned printmaking skills and a “practical understanding of their history.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn5\">[5]</a> This was during a time of tremendous upheavals and activism coming after the 60’s when, as Lorrin Thomas writes when talking about the Puerto Rican experience in NY, “With deindustrialization as a stark backdrop of the community’s struggles in the sixties, along with new debates about its “culture of poverty” and then the radicalization of the African American civil rights movements, politicized young Puerto Ricans began to challenge the moderate, liberal approach of the older second generation and embrace a more radical agenda that would shift the balance of Puerto Rican activism in New York by 1970.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn6\">[6]</a>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"taller020 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8167141201/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"taller020\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8064/8167141201_7ba138fc29_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"222\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Silk screening in Taller.</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<div>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"taller011 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8167132125/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"taller011\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8205/8167132125_4252787d06_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"210\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>T-Shirts, designed and printed in 1970\'s Taller</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n</div>\r\nAs in New York, the same activism in Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia “emphasized the demands for recognition as a group alongside more standard claims for individual rights.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn7\">[7]</a> This was Philadelphia in the heyday of the Young Lords, who on some of their posters demanded “Health, Food, Housing and Education” in reaction to the massive under- and unemployment, deteriorating public services and lack of housing.<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn8\">[8]</a> This was at the time of “the increasing militancy of young radicals who were animated by the Cuban revolution, by decolonization struggles across Africa and Southeast Asia, and by their opposition to the United States’ war in Vietnam.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn9\">[9]</a> Social justice, better housing, jobs and even the independence of Puerto Rico were the mantras of many at that time. So, when Domingo Negrón, Rosemary Cubas, Mike Fucille, Mario Rivera, Ramonita Rivera and Rafaela Colón founded Taller as a collective, it was under these objectives and ideals. Israel Colón describes institutions like Taller as having <b>“pursued a fine line between cultural affirmation and resistance.”</b><a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn10\">[10]</a>\r\n<div>\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"Domingo009 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8167396026/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Domingo009\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8490/8167396026_4a028107de_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"219\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Domingo Negrón, Taller Puertorriqueño\'s founding director</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n</div>\r\nIn Taller’s 25th-year catalogue, Colón characterizes the artist programs, “Every project organized, seemed to capture the essence of Puerto Rican life in the Barrio. As in many of their productions, Taller’s projects featured young artists freely expressing their views, political and otherwise. Photo exhibits, often orchestrated by Bonnie and Tom, were common because they dramatized the community’s existence and serve as historical documentation of the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.”<a href=\"http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7364994886984793629#_ftn11\">[11]</a>\r\n\r\nWith projects such as these and the two-year oral history project “Batiendo La Olla,” completed in 1979, Taller cemented its role in the community.\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"IMG_4069 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8255455490/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4069\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8255455490_da7a29510e_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Danny Torres\'s mural, Beinvenido a \" Centro de Oro,\" Lehigh &amp; N. 5th Street.</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nIn its new exhibition cycle, Claiming Places: Unity, Ownership, and “Hogar” (Home), Taller, now almost a 40 year old institution with an eye to expand to a new and larger location, asks us to take note of our presence, to weigh what binds us to where we are, to think of what makes us who we are, and to imagine what we want our community to be. We are invited to take into account the impressions we leave and of our role as place-makers as we each shape our future. Students from Taller’s education programs will exhibit work dealing with the theme of place-making.

We have set up a personalized blog to capture the elements of the shows and to allow comments from the public. The blog will, in the end, be an archive and a voice of this exploration. In January and May 2013, we will have two panel discussions bringing artists from the show together with scholars to discuss the issues raised in this cycle. Some of the people in the panel will be Lorrin Thomas, history professor at Rutgers University, Luis Aponte-Parés, community studies professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston, Johnny Irizarry, former director of Taller and director of La Casa Latina at the University of Pennsylvania, architect JC Calderon panel moderator, and Antonio Fiol Silva, principal architect on the team designing Taller’s new building.\r\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><a title=\"IMG_4094 by tallerpr.org, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tpr_visual_arts/8255467404/\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4094\" src=\"http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8495/8255467404_f440398bae_n.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>A bilingual elementary school named after the famed Puerto Rican poet and  activist,  Julia de Burgos.</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nCommunities are transforming their spaces into personal places by integrating their experiences and reflecting their needs and hopes through the arts and cultural distinctions. Leaders in these communities further convey the needs and aspirations of the citizens in the collaborative organizations they create, like Taller, Juntos, Casa de Venezuela, Casa Monarca and Acción Colombia. “Claiming place” is a conscious act to be seen and heard in order to belong. Yet, the conversation is never static - circumstances change, wars happen, cataclysms occur, industries go, unemployment rises, and communities age, move, and sometimes mysteriously disappear. These are the challenges we face, as individuals and as a community, whether consciously or not. Through our exhibition cycle, <i>Claiming Places: Unity, Ownership, and “Hogar” (Home)</i>, Taller, on its blog and in its programs and exhibitions, is providing a space for dialogue in the community. This is just the beginning of our journey in this yearlong conversation to explore a shared history in place making.\r\n\r\nSo please post your comments and subscribe to the <i>Claiming Places</i> blog.\r\n\r\n<i>Rafael Dasmast,</i>\r\n<i>Visual Arts Program Manager</i>\r\n\r\n<em>Dec. 8, 2012</em>','Personalizing Place in the Latino Community','','inherit','closed','open','','416-revision-v1','','','2013-12-02 15:59:42','2013-12-02 20:59:42','',416,'http://tallerpr.org/2013/12/02/416-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);
