Learn about the art of solar plate printmaking through a guided workshop led by Taller Boricua artists Betty Cole and Eliezer Berrios. Participants will be provided with the necessary materials and guided through completing their own series of solar plates by using their own photographs. Participants are encouraged to bring photographs ranging from landscapes to self-portraits or family-related photos that express their personal narratives.
This 2.5-hour in-person program is free and no experience is required. This workshop takes place at Taller Boricua’s East Harlem printmaking workshop, located at 121 East 106th St, New York, NY. This workshop is at capacity. Please email [email protected] to be added to the waitlist.
Rafael Tufiño Printmaking Workshop at Taller Boricua will activate the Creativity Lab with installations and programming from August 6 through September 30, 2024. Taller Boricua has been an advocate for East Harlem artists and residents since it was founded in 1969. Its current leadership includes original founders and artists Marcos Dimas, executive director of Taller Boricua, and Nitza Tufino, master printer and director of the Rafael Tufino Printmaking Workshop. The project in the Creativity Lab is organized by Nitza Tufino with the participation of member artists Ada Pilar Cruz, Betty Cole, Eliezer Berrios, and James Cuebas. Taller Boricua has been instrumental to East Harlem’s “El Barrio” community’s long-standing cultural and social well-being. Taller Boricua’s mission is “to establish a cultural and educational center for the Puerto Rican community in New York City and enhance the aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, and economic experience of Puerto Ricans in New York.” Its historic-artistic engagement with the Young Lords Party, which was once headquartered on the same city block, infused the inspiration that gave rise to the political, cultural, and poetic Nuyorican movement.
