Boston’s Latin Quarter Film Screening
November 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm UTC+5.5
Join us for a special screening of Boston’s Latin Quarter, a film by Monica Cohen.
Please join us for a screening of Monica Cohen’s short film Boston’s Latin Quarter. The screening will be followed by a question and answer program led by the curator Jessica Hernandez.
Official film description courtesy of The BOOM House: This short documentary piece directed by Monica Cohen and produced by The BOOM House touches on the importance of the preservation of cultural enclaves within a city. The Latin Quarter, a Latinx neighborhood in the middle of Jamaica Plain in Boston, sets an example of community, resilience and growth. This film explores the history, the struggles and the impact such a neighborhood can have on a community, a city and most importantly, the next generation of Latinx in Boston.
This event accompanies UVA’s current exhibit Latinx Identities: Struggles, Perspectives, and Critiques. The show will be on display from September 22nd, 2023 to November 17th, 2023 at UVA’s Arthaus Gallery. Through sculpture, photography, time-based works, and mixed media, the featured artists examine subjects ranging from movement and migration, gender and womanhood, the violence of the nation-state, and the importance of healing the mind and the body.
