SUMMARY:Un encuentro con Manuel Rivas
DESCRIPTION:Sábado 5 de diciembre @ 11:00 am EST \n\nManuel Rivas\, en conversación con su editora Pilar Reyes\, presenta Zona a defender. \nZona a defender es un libro comprometido sobre el mundo en el que vivimos y el que debemos dejar en herencia.  \nEn un mundo centrado en el rendimiento económico e industrial\, este libro propone una perspectiva esperanzada y literaria sobre la necesidad de impulsar un cambio de significado de palabras como «sociedad»\, «naturaleza»\, «poder»\, «individuo»\, «cultura» o «creación»\, y de encontrar un espacio de reflexión sobre lo que nos falta. En cada página brilla el compromiso social y ecológico del autor\, su sensibilidad\, su ironía y la belleza de su prosa. \n“En el mundo deberían multiplicarse las zonas a defender. Aquello que tendría que estar más defendido es lo más vulnerable. Lo más inseguro. ¡Mayday! \nDefiendo una internacional de las conciencias indóciles que ya no dejará dormir a las conciencias tranquilas.\nDefiendo la posibilidad. El primer paso es decir: «Es posible»\nDefiendo la posibilidad de ser humanos.\nDefiendo una república de iguales\, una ruptura con la corrupción.\nDefiendo un nuevo contrato de la sociedad con la naturaleza.\nDefiendo una austeridad fértil\, una abundancia creativa.\nDefiendo una soledad solidaria.\nDefiendo un nuevo lenguaje imaginativo contra la política del daño.\nDefiendo un humor amoratado\, sabotear el dogmatismo con ironía.\nDefiendo un feminismo que emancipe a las mujeres y libere a los hombres del «histerismo masculino».\nDefiendo descolonizar la imaginación\, contar historias para sostener el cielo.\nDefiendo una nueva lucha por la libertad.\nDefiendo la prohibición en la posesión de armas\, con una excepción: la risa.\nDefiendo el acuerdo entre generaciones.\nDefiendo el arte de la escucha\, defiendo ver lo que no está «bien visto».\nDefiendo la democracia afectiva.\nDefiendo los libros demasiado largos\, las películas demasiado lentas.\nDefiendo el arte de caer. Defiendo pensar lo impensable.  \nHago boxeo de sombras. Camino por el horizonte enfermo.\nEl pesimismo rebelde va de la mano de una esperanza indócil”. \nEn colaboración con Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial\, Centro Cultural Español de Miami y Consulado de España en Miami.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Breaking Up With America
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A! Starts @ 5:30 p.m. EST. \nComedian and social commentator Colin Quinn sees the United States as a fifty-states-wide couples’ counseling session whose beleaguered participants are thinking about filing for divorce\, and calls everyone out state-by-state. But while Overstated: A Coast-to-Coast Roast of the 50 States skewers us all – red\, blue\, and purple – it’s ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked this country into being. He’s trading quips and quibbles with the Emmy-winning Alan Zweibel\, one of Saturday Night Live’s original writers and the author of Laugh Lines: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier.

SUMMARY:Jan Beatty: A Reading from The Body Wars: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Sunday\, November 22 @ 1:00 p.m.\nWhat would it take to be home in one’s body\, to walk around the world as oneself\, knowing the pain within and without us? In The Body Wars\, Jan Beatty boldly answers that question by making a fire map of the body. These roiling poems smack into walls of meditation\, only to slide down the smooth concrete into the flatline of joy. These are vital poems of dimension\, of both psychic and literal travel\, of the elasticity of truth and struggle\, of the daily nature of desire that brings us to our knees—then shotguns us back to the heart’s center. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Miami Street Arts with Luis Berros: How to Draw Billy the Otter!
DESCRIPTION:weBilly the Otter might be a little guy in a big ocean but that doesn’t mean he can’t leap off the page! Miami street artist Luis Berros is well-known for his fine art renditions of famous characters that are dripping in paint and street art style\, making his signature style a mix of urban contemporary art. If you’ve driven in Miami or walked the streets of Wynwood and beyond\, you’ve definitely seen his work that looks like it leaped rightout of a gallery and onto a wall. Join this dynamic artist for a fun tutorial as he shows you how to create his character Billy the Otter\, right from his very own picture book! \nLuis Berros (b. 1970) is a lifelong “semi-native” of South Florida\, having been born in Jersey City\, New Jersey\, before moving with his family to Miami as a child. When he demonstrated ability and an interest in art his parents brought him to an art teacher in an effort to channel his energy away from his other talent\, mischief. Spending several years as a student in Lesver de Quiros’ studio he developed his skill working with oil and canvas and gained a sensibility for color\, composition and the undeniable power of fine art. In high school Luis was a student of Eric Jenkins at Miami Jackson Senior High\, a teacher whose influence still flows in the work he is now creating. As he refined his technical skill along with his knowledge and appreciation of art history\, Luis’ own style and interpretive arc began to emerge. \nFinding an outlet for his creativity\, and a welcoming community in the fledgling graffiti culture  of South Florida in the early 1980’s\, Luis took part in this emerging art form and  experienced firsthand the power of art without limits.  Today he has become engrossed by the underlying narrative of his work\, which is to accelerate fine art and street art along the same plane and document the collision. When Luis isn’t painting he is living\, loving and laughing with his two wonderful children. All of whom have a talent for mischief. \nhttps://luisberros.com/

SUMMARY:Understanding Haiti’s New Proposed Laws
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Leonie Hermantin\, member of the Center for Haitian Studies’ Board of Directors. \nPresented in Haitian Creole with English subtitles.\nEnglish transcription available for non-Creole speakers \nDuring the colonial era\, Haiti’s Black Code governed the slavery system. Later\, the Civil Code was added to the Black Code with the aim of softening the slavery system. Today\, the Haitian government is proposing a new Penal Code for Haiti – one that would emulate other countries that have adopted a series of laws and principles that govern their people’s behavior regardless of their race\, color\, creed\, or language. Would a new Haitian Penal Code be at odds with our current legal system\, and with our principles and history? In this panel\, political sociologist Jean Eddy Saint Paul and writer Alin L. Hall (La Péninsule républicaine) discuss Haiti’s proposed Penal Code. \nSponsored by \n \n \nand in partnership with
