Brooklyn Talks: Paola Mendoza and Paola Ramos

Description

Thursday, October 17, 7–9 pm

Join journalist Paola Ramos and filmmaker Paola Mendoza for a thought-provoking conversation on two of the nation’s most important and misunderstood communities: Latinos and immigrants. From the rise of authoritarian forces and anti-immigrant rhetoric to the spread of misinformation, Ramos and Mendoza will touch on pressing issues facing American political and cultural life. In tandem with the release of their books SOLIS and Defectors, the two authors reflect on how Latino and immigrant communities shape the nation. Together they will explore storytelling's power to help us understand these issues and to inspire change.

SOLIS, Mendoza’s dystopian YA novel, tells the tale of undocumented immigrants subjected to labor camps and a teen-led contingent that plots to liberate its community. Ramos’s new nonfiction book, Defectors, unravels the assumption that Democrats can rely on a monolithic Latino vote by sharing stories of Latino voters who have aligned with the conservative movement. 

Tickets are $10 ($6 for Members) and include after-hours admission to the American Art galleries. Not a Member? Join today! Add copies of SOLIS and Defectors at checkout.

This program will include ASL interpretation. For visitors with disabilities or accessibility needs, email access@brooklynmuseum.org.
