Advocate of the Loisaida Streets: The Activist Legacy of Tato Laviera

This program will feature a screening of CENTRO’s documentary, AmeRican, directed by Vivian Hernandez-Ortiz, followed by a discussion with artists and activists who worked with Tato.

In partnership with the Tato Laviera Foundation, the Loisaida Center and CENTRO.
