Photos of the panel discussion on Jan 26, with the artists César Viveros Herrera and Esperanza Cortés, Caitlin Peck (teacher and artist) and Carmen Febo San Miguel, the director of Taller Puertorriqueño.   The panel's moderator was J.C. Calderon.

The discussion focussed on the definitions of community and the forces that unite them.  Viveros gave an over view of his murals and his immigration experiences.  Peck discussed her work and her YAP students exhibition, Dreams & Realities, which spoke of their personal history, aspirations and outlooks of their community.  San Miguel discussed, briefly, the history and mission of Taller Puertorriqueño.  And finally, Cortés gave a presentation of her work and her connection to Latino community.  The public actively engaged in the discussion.   The panel discussion was held at the Lorenzo Homar Gallery.
