Half and Half - A Panel Discussion
at Hostos Community College
450 Grand Concourse


Thursday, March 11, 2010 - 6:00 p.m.
Admiissiion iis Free // Allll are Wellcome

Half and Half is a four-person panel focusing on the construction of Dominican and Haitian national identities, taking into consideration their dismissal of each other’s presence on the same Caribbean island.


Diiógenes Abrreu,, autthorr off Perrejjiill | Vlladiimiirr Cybiill Charrlliierr,, arrttiistt Sandy Plláciido,, acttiiviistt | Miirriiam Nepttune,, acttiiviistt and ffiillmmakerr

Half and Half offers the speakers and those present the opportunity to discuss and reflect on one of the most controversial situations today in terms of race, ethnicity, politics and the legacy of colonialism in the Americas.

This panel will serve as a fundraiser for Haiti.
All of the proceeds collected during the event will be donated to Seeds for Haiti.

Selected materials from the video-photographic documentation created by Sol Aramendi for Borderless in the Dominican Republic and NYC, plus Estevez’s TV appearances in the Dominican Republic will be projected. A transcription of the panel will be printed as a booklet to be shared with a wider audience. This material will later serve as the conceptual basis for upcoming art workshops to be implemented with Dominican, Haitian, Dominican-Haitian and Haitian-Dominican participants in Guayubín, the town in the Dominican Republic most of Estevez’s paternal family resides.

Borderless is presented with support from Art Matters, Printed Matter and supported in part by the Ford Foundation, JPMorgan Chase and South West Airlines through a grant from the NALAC Fund for the Arts. Half and Half is presented with the generous support of The Bronx Council on the Arts.

By popular demand, Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayprquino, the ground-breaking 1970's orchestra which presaged many developments in Latin music, returns to the Hostos Center with a program of the greatest hits composed by the legendary Arsenio Rodríguez who is credited as the creator of son montuno, mambo and salsa. Co-produced by Rene López, Andy Kaufman and the Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, ths concert pays homage to a true musical genius who is considered by many musicologists as being the greatest composer/musician of Afro-Cuban music of the 20th century

SEMINAR:
La Gente del Bronx:
Arsenio Rodríguez, a "People's Musician"
Thurs, March 18, 5:30 p.m. | Art Gallery, 450 Grand Concourse

This seminar takes its name and theme from one of Arsenio Rodríguez's most beloved tunes which is an ode to the community - the South Bronx - where Arsenio performed in working-class social clubs during the 40's and the 50's for audience that rarely frequented downtown establishments. It will focus on the típico and Afro-centric nature of Arsenio's music which contrasted with the music of such contemporaries as Títo Puente and Títo Rodríguez.

PARTICIPANTS:


David R. García
Author of Arsenio Rodríguez and the
Transitional Flows of Latin Popular Music
René López
Musicologist
