THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER, THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF EVELINA ANTONETTY, ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND IMPACTFUL LEADERS OF THE PUERTO RICAN DIASPORA OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, WAS CELEBRATED AND HONORED.

Evelina 100, Celebrating the Life and Times of Evelina Antonetty commemorated Evelina's centennial (1922-2022) through a series of events across New York City. CCCADI collaborated to create a digital exhibition of artwork dedicated to Evelina entitled, Images of Evelina.

On September 18th, Elba Cabrera, Evelina's sister, was joined by several artists of the Images of Evelina exhibition at the CCCADI Firehouse for a roundtable discussion on Evelina's unwavering commitment to her community and her as a source of inspiration for the artists. The virtual presentation of this event will be made available on October 3, 2022 at 7 PM (EST) via our CCCADI Facebook and Youtube.

You can prepare for this artist talk by exploring the digital exhibition. Images of Evelina consist of ten portraits by contemporary artists who were asked to produce new works depicting Evelina Antonetty.
