ECOS: Activities in Humboldt Park
@ Multiple Locations
Humboldt Park
Opening Friday, September 27th, at 12PM Multiple
On view through Saturday, September 28th
ECOS: A Chicago Latine Poetry Festival celebrates Chicago’s relationship with and influence on Latine poetry. It echoes (“ecos’ in Spanish) the Nezahualcóyotl Poetry Festival, organized in 1991 by Chicago poet Carlos Cumpián and aligns with the September release of Latino Poetry: the Library of America Anthology
The Poetry Foundation has partnered with local cultural organizations to present programming activations in three Chicago neighborhoods: the North River Commission in Albany Park, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture in Humboldt Park, and the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen. The festival will feature free, bilingual Spanish and English programming, including poetry readings and performances, writing workshops, live music, storytime for kids, and more!
