SUMMARY:Mizik Ayiti! Residency Late Spring Series | Rasin Okan
DESCRIPTION:Join HCX on Thursdays for the Mizik Ayiti! Residency Series. The Spring residency will be held by Rasin Okan! \nThis residency honors the legacy of mizik rasin in Haiti and abroad and its role in collective storytelling. Rasin Okan will share popular folk songs from legends such as Lenord Fortune (a.k.a. Azor) and Jacques Fortere (a.k.a. Wawa)\, as well as original songs that echo the courage of Haiti’s freedom fighters while calling us to remember\, reconnect\, and rise. This residency is a sacred pilgrimage home—a journey for healing\, reflection\, and protection. We invite you to take this symbolic trip with us through rhythm\, drum\, dance\, and song. Let the music move your spirit. Let the memory ignite your soul. \n45-minute performances will take place at 6:30 & 7:45 PM on each Thursday. \n\nAbout Rasin Okan: Born of Haiti’s mizik rasin movement\, Rasin Okan is a Brooklyn-based Haitian roots ensemble. In the spirit of rasin sèch (directly translated to dry roots)\, Rasin Okan emphasizes the sounds and songs of traditional Haitian Vodou ceremonial music without much electric accompaniment. Led and co-founded by Jean E. Montina\, Sanba Mayombe\, the group writes original songs and evocative folk music to insight the revolutionary spirit of Haiti’s freedom fighters\, set to a pulsating rhythm. \nMembers: Jean E Montina (Sanba Mayombe)\, Trudy Pierre (Sanba Verite)\, Wilgainson Toussaint (Sanba Nènèl)\, Gregory Fanor (Atis Alèz)\, Véronëque Ignace (Awoyo) \n\nTickets include a complimentary beverage.\nSpecial pop-up offerings from Bon Pâtés.\nLimited capacity\, RSVP strongly recommended.

SUMMARY:CBH Talk | Puerto Rico at a Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:As Puerto Rico confronts mounting economic pressures\, climate vulnerability\, migration\, and renewed debates over sovereignty and self-determination\, questions about the island’s political future have taken on new urgency. In the wake of the most recent election cycle\, what paths lie ahead for Puerto Rico and how are activists\, intellectuals\, artists\, and everyday Puerto Ricans imagining the island’s future? \nJoin CBH as renowned scholar of Puerto Rican social and political movements José A. Laguarta Ramírez moderates a conversation about the competing visions shaping Puerto Rico today with Ed Morales\, author of Fantasy Island: Colonialism\, Exploitation\, and the Betrayal of Puerto Rico and Natalia Viera Salgado\, whose curatorial work engages decolonial practice\, environmental justice\, and contemporary art. \nTogether they examine the island’s colonial relationship to the United States\, the role of the Puerto Rican diaspora\, the social\, cultural\, environmental stakes embedded in these debates\, and how these questions are being wrestled with through contemporary art and cultural practice as Puerto Rico’s creative community responds to issues of colonialism\, displacement\, environmental crisis\, identity\, and resistance.
