MFA Community Celebration: Latinx Heritage Night

This year, we’re taking our second annual Latinx Heritage Night online to recognize and honor the enduring cultural contributions of the Latinx Community to the U.S. Hosted in partnership with Amplify Latinx, this free virtual event includes a spoken word performance, music, a Spotlight Talk, an artist talk and more—all in celebration of Latinx Heritage Month!

Este año nuestra segunda celebración noche Latinx será virtual. Celebraremos nuestra historia y nuestras contribuciones a los Estados Unidos. Este evento en colaboración con Amplify Latinx, es gratis y tendrá presentación de poemas de Grateful Queen; musica de Angel Subero, Wilson Vera, Gian Carlo Buscaglia, y Fabiola Mendez; con un foco de galería con nuestra Layla Bermeo, Kristin y Roger Servison, la curadora asociada de pinturas en el departmento de Arte de las Americas.

“Latinx” is a gender-neutral term used in lieu of “Latino” or “Latina” to refer to a person of Latin American descent. The MFA and our community celebration partner, Amplify Latinx, have used this term in an effort to be more inclusive of Gen X and Z, and the LGBTQ community. During Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond, we continue to embrace the diversity of cultures and generations within the Latin American community.

Latinx Heritage Night is sponsored by Chase.

No such thing as "Latinx" heritage.
