"We were born blighted, debauched, tormented under the sign of pleasure in the Caribbean narco-state. Our art is mash-up and re-mix. We choose reciprocity and mutual retronourishment. Our dream is our nightmare.”
Join University of Puerto Rico Film Professor Mary Leonard for a panel discussion with three of the Caribe Pop art movement movers and shakers: writer and founder Rey Andujar and filmmaker and founder Andrés Farías Cintrón from the Dominican Republic and writer and critic Nicolás Gerardi from Venezuela. We will discuss the Caribe Pop movement and Candela, the film Andrés made based on Rey’s novel of the same name.
The film Candela will be shown on Thursday, October 27 at 7 pm at the Garfield Theater at 719 Race St. in Cincinnati. It is part of Jurakán, a film series on hurricanes, which is part of the Fotofocus Biennial program.
