SUMMARY:Word Up Recirculation: Amaris Castillo's BODEGA STORIES with Erika Morillo
DESCRIPTION:Word Up welcomes journalist and author Amaris Castillo for the NYC celebration of her new novel\, Bodega Stories\, a window into a Dominican family’s bodega and the community at its heart. In conversation with Castillo will be photojournalist Erika Morillo\, author of Mother Archive: A Dominican Family Memoir \n“Bodega Stories gives voice to the working-class immigrants from the Caribbean who often play such important roles in community building\, those who create safe spaces for gathering like bodegas\, barbershops\, salones de belleza\, and mom-and-pop restaurants. Castillo’s descriptions are rich and layered\, giving a sense of place and situating the reader beautifully inside each nook and cranny of Orlando Latin Market.”—Erika Morillo \nABOUT THE BOOK\nA bodega is much more than a neighborhood grocery store–it’s a lifeline to community and culture. In Bodega Stories\, Amaris Castillo takes readers inside Orlando Latin Market\, a bodega owned and operated by her parents in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, to reveal a thriving local hub that bridges generations\, languages\, and traditions. \nMeet the regulars: Castillo’s glamorous T a Margarita\, who has worked part-time at the bodega for years; longtime cook Alberto\, who arrives early to prepare the store’s rice\, beans\, empanadas\, and croquetas; Chico\, the owner of the barbershop next door; and Esther\, who visits after church every Sunday for her crispy chicharrones. Through captivating and charming true stories of visitors who come looking for products from Colombia\, El Salvador\, Honduras\, Venezuela\, Cuba\, and many other countries\, readers get a glimpse into the lives of employees and customers as they navigate matters of immigration\, love\, history\, food\, and identity. \nInterwoven are snapshots of daily life\, like a bulletin board outside the store where local residents post apartments for rent\, messages through the bodega’s Facebook page asking for hard-to-find items\, and photos from the past and present. Including Castillo’s own family’s story from the Dominican Republic to New York to Florida\, Bodega Stories is a portrait of finding home–between the cultures we inherit and the ones we embrace. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS\nAmaris Castillo is a Brooklyn native and daughter of Dominican immigrants. A former newspaper reporter\, her work has appeared in the New York Times\, Lowell Sun\, Bradenton Herald\, and elsewhere. She currently works at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies and lives in Tampa Bay with her family. Bodega Stories is her debut. \nErika Morillo is a photographer and writer born and raised in the Dominican Republic. She lives in Jersey City\, New Jersey.

SUMMARY:Sugar Hill Children's Museum: Harlem Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven\, Wynton Marsalis\, William Bolcom\, William Grant Still + more \nIn many ways\, Ludwig van Beethoven’s turbulent and fiercely concentrated Op. 95 “Serioso” Quartet points toward the restless individuality that defines so much American music today. Its sharp contrasts\, rhythmic urgency\, and emotional directness resonate across genres and generations—from the jazz-infused classical language of William Bolcom\, to the stylistic fluency and improvisatory spirit of Wynton Marsalis\, the lyrical originality of William Grant Still\, and the virtuosic cross-cultural voice of Aldo López-Gavilán. Though separated by centuries and traditions\, these composers share a commitment to breaking boundaries while speaking in unmistakably personal voices. \nAll Ages Welcome!\nPlease Register.

SUMMARY:Five Flies Coffee & BMA: Washington Heights Community Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:Broadway Mall Association (BMA)in collaboration with Five Flies Coffee proudly announces a community poetry reading in connection with the art exhibition\, Pablo Caviedes: The Unknown Way. This exhibition showcases 20 of the artist’s original works from his CRANIUM series\, displayed along the Broadway malls from 150th  to 158th Street last year to commemorate the Day of the Dead. \nPablo Caviedes’ CRANIUM series is a powerful meditation on identity\, migration\, and mortality. Through intricately rendered skulls layered with maps\, indigenous symbols\, and human visages\, Caviedes uses a universal symbol of death to represent an exploration of cultural memory. Merging Western memento mori traditions with Latin American iconography\, his work blurs boundaries between life and death\, homeland and exile\, and the physical and the digital. Each skull is a visual archive of the immigrant experience: fragmented yet resilient\, rooted yet in motion. CRANIUM invites viewers to confront the fluidity of identity and to question what it means to belong in an ever-shifting world. \nPoets from around New York City have been invited to interpret these works. The poets include Diogenese Abreu\, Omar Ballardares\, Eric Baker\, Alan Britt\, Karla Coreas\, Jenna Jenkins\, Alex Lima\, Azekiwe Providence. Each will dynamically integrate the unique black and white skull images with the written and spoken word. This unique program reflects the Broadway Mall Association’s mission to create meaningful cultural programming in multimedia ways in the communities that it serves. Five Flies Coffee is a community institution and small business that provides delicious beverages and locally-sourced food to the Washington Heights neighborhood. It also supports local artists through these type of event and the collaboration with BMA and Pablo Caviedes is the perfect marriage of art and local business development.

SUMMARY:Word Up Recirculation: Joshua Jelly-Schapiro's DAYLIGHT COME
DESCRIPTION:Word Up welcomes Publisher’s Weekly Director of Publishing Joshua Jelly-Schapiro to discuss his new book Daylight Come: Harry Belafonte and the World He Made (Significations)\, a vibrant\, revealing portrait of the “King of Calypso\,” whose extraordinary performing career and activism helped remake America through the civil rights era and beyond. \nThis event is a $5 suggested donation ticket with a maximum of 100 attendees. Please register in advance. \nABOUT THE BOOK  Even three years after his death\, Harry Belafonte is everywhere. You can’t go to a wedding\, or to a sports arena\, without hearing “Day-O\,” “Jump in the Line\,” or “Jamaica Farewell.” The Harlem-born son of Caribbean immigrants\, Belafonte turned the folk music of the islands into American pop—and shaped the fantasy of Caribbean life that endures as an ideal and as a multibillion-dollar tourist industry. Belafonte released the first million-selling LP in history. He was America’s first Black movie star\, the first Black person to produce a prime-time special on network TV\, and the first to win an Emmy Award. He was once the highest-paid Black performer of all time\, beloved by Black and white fans alike\, even under segregation. His artistic career helped create the pop culture of the twentieth century—and his political activism reshaped the course of American history. \nIn this sparkling new biography\, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro brings Belafonte’s personality and music vibrantly to life\, following him from rags to riches and from Harlem to Jamaica to the March on Washington. Jelly-Schapiro takes us inside Belafonte’s lifelong brotherhood with Sidney Poitier\, his friendship with Fidel Castro\, his collaboration with Nelson Mandela\, and the sometimes shocking therapeutic relationships his difficult upbringing necessitated. At the heart of the story is Belafonte’s bond with Martin Luther King Jr.\, whose cause Belafonte would champion for the rest of his life. That commitment to the greater good would sustain him and benefit untold numbers—and would come at a cost. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR Joshua Jelly-Schapiro is a geographer and writer whose books include Names of New York: Discovering the City’s Past\, Present\, and Future Through Its Place-Names; Island People: The Caribbean and the World; and\, with Rebecca Solnit\, Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas. His work appears regularly in publications including The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, and The New York Review of Books. Jelly-Schapiro teaches journalism at New York University and is director of publishing at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn\, where he hosts the popular Author Talks series and is coeditor in chief of Pioneer Works Broadcast.
