About this Event
Join us for an outdoor screening of short videos about Latina elders who left a legacy in Grand Rapids through their families, neighbors, and community. Nuestra HERencia is a project of the Latino Community Coalition, in partnership with Downtown Grand Rapids Inc's Women's Way initiative, which uses art and public space to amplify women's presence in local history. LCC worked to collect stories of women who might otherwise have been invisible, and we share them now as a way to claim space and narrative power for Latinx communities in Grand Rapids. Nuestra HERencia says we belong here, too.
Free food from Tamales Mary and free LCC t-shirts will be available. Please plan to wear masks to help protect the most vulnerable in our community. Note that this event is taking place outside, so dress warmly, and bring blankets or yard chairs to sit on! Paid parking is available in the Studio Park ramp, and street parking is free after 6pm. Remarks and screening will begin at 6:30pm.
Special thanks to DGRI, Candor Media, Isabel Media Studios, Tamales Mary, DJ Delaroc, Rolando Mancera, and Studio Park for making this work and event possible, and to all the families and friends of the women we will be honoring for sharing their stories with us.
