Enjoy an evening of Puerto Rican music/DJ, food, and film, as we celebrate two Afro-Boricua filmmakers and their contribution to cinema. LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes will screen Daughter of the Sea directed by Alexis C. Garcia and Negra, Yo Soy Bella directed by Vashni Korin. In Daughter of the Sea , a young woman experiences a spiritual awakening when she is called by Yemaya, the orisha Goddess of the Sea. Negra, Yo Soy Bella, is a portrait of Mar Cruz, an Afro-Puerto Rican woman who sources strength, healing, and black pride through the tradition of Bomba. A panel discussion will follow the screening. We invite guests to dance and enjoy a taste of Puerto Rico.
