Recording Now Available for Entre Nos: Twin Cities Latinx Arts, Cultures, and Communities Virtual Events
Mirella Espino, Program Director
Thank you to everyone that attended our first ever Entre Nos Series presentations! This was the first ever virtual Latinx-created and centered events at MRAC in Spanish and English. As a Zacatecana that grew up in a Spanish-speaking household and went to English-speaking schools, these events were truly special and heartwarming to be a part of. There were so many beautiful words of wisdom and powerful lessons learned that were shared with us (I was taking my notes too!).
As some of you may know, we created these two events in response to comments and meetings that I had during the summer with Latinx artists in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The top two requested services from MRAC were (1) to create virtual events and (2) that they have a bilingual element. We truly appreciate all the time y’all took in responding to the survey, attending the event for those of you that could, and creating a space for us to connect and learn together.
I hope these events were helpful in your professional development and that they can be useful tool in y’alls career. For that reason, and with the consent of our guest speakers, we wanted to share the recordings with y’all: English (https://youtu.be/IcF-ibDsTMo) and Spanish (https://youtu.be/l7h3o9Q0uB8) Entre Nos events.
At the end of the presentations, you will see that I shared some grant opportunities. If you or your group/organization are interested in applying to MRAC, please feel free to reach out via mirella@mrac.org or call 651-523-6380.
