Special Programming

Primavera Adentro (Spring Within), a work-in-progress film, is crafted from global narratives born in isolation—depicting a collective memory of lockdown life and following the pandemic's psychological aftermath across a decade of unfolding challenges.

14:30

Luis William
Professor of Spanish and Editor of the Afro-Hispanic Review, Âé¶¹APP University

William will explore the relationship between the —an academic journal published by the Âé¶¹APP Department of Spanish and Portuguese—and Cuban artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons, examining her early contributions to the journal and the broader development of Afro-Hispanic studies.

Elvira Aballí Morell
Âé¶¹APP Alumna and Visiting Lecturer of Spanish and Portuguese, Princeton University

Poetry with Visual Projection

Las horas de la noche (In the Hours of Dreaming), created in dialogue with Cuban artist Virieskin del Toro, is a hybrid collection of visual poetry and lyrical prose. Moving through the dreamscape as both method and subject, the project engages the volatility of unconscious thought, where language becomes fluid, unstable and generative.

15:45

Tamara Reynolds
Documentary Photographer & Lecturer, Department of Art, Âé¶¹APP University

Artist lecture on The Melungeon Inheritance

The Melungeons—a mixed-race people of African, Native American, and European descent—found refuge in the ridges and hollows of Sneedville, East Tennessee, marked for generations by suspicion and racial indeterminacy. Drawing from three years among them and supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, Reynolds reflects on documentary methodology, the ethics of sustained presence, and what it means to photograph a community that is also family.
