Date: Friday, December 11, 2009 Time: 7:00pm - 11:00pm Location: Media Bureau/MBN STUDIOS Street: 725 N. 4th Street Description Semilla Arts Initiative and AfroTaino Productions Present “POSTCARDS OF OUR BARRIOS” and “DIGNITY TRANSFORMS” Visual, Lyrical and Rhythmic Images of Our Communities Please join us for an evening of music and poetry celebrating the opening exhibit of Philadelphia-based group Semilla Arts Initiative. "Dignity Transforms" shows how artists Pedro Ospina and Betsy Casañas transformed their life’s work into a grassroots art’s initiative and continued on with their work as individual artists. This exhibit will reconstructs their most recent project “Recuperando el Barrio”. A cultural manifestation intended to revitalize a community that for too long had been neglected and deprived of the basic essential needs. By uniting and celebrating the diverse talents found in the community they began to create and rebuild what for a long time many have learned to live with. This multi-media installation will give viewers insight on how a society plays an impact on the work of an artist and how an artist can impact and transform a community. “Postcard of our Barrios” strives to create a space where artists of all communities and cultural backgrounds can share a space and tell their stories through, music, spoken word, dance and Visual Art.
