ECOS: Activities in Pilsen
@ National Museum of Mexican Art
1852 W 19th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, September 28th, from 10AM - 9PM
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!
