WHAT TO EXPECT

UNBROKEN – Film Premiere

A groundbreaking short film following a young Puerto Rican dancer through three sacred narrative stages: the mountains of ancestral awakening, the river of community and legacy, and the beach of resistance and power.

Immersive Art Installations

Step into intimate spaces that honor real Puerto Rican stories of family, survival, displacement, and the unbreakable bond to homeland. Hear testimonies. Honor ancestors. Celebrate those who fought to stay.

Panel Discussion with Film Creators
Join an intimate conversation with the filmmakers, artists, and visionaries behind Unbroken. Hear directly from those who crafted this powerful narrative about their creative process, inspirations, and the stories that drove them to honor Puerto Rican resilience and patriotism. This candid discussion offers deeper insight into the film's themes and the personal journeys of those dedicated to telling our stories.

Interactive Community Stories

Discover personal narratives from community members emphasizing the Puerto Rican experience de aquí, de allá—rooted in the island while navigating life in diaspora. These intimate testimonies capture the complexity of identity, migration, sacrifice, and the enduring pull of la Patria. Each story celebrates those who bridge two worlds while maintaining their unbreakable connection to home.

"Bomba: Voices of Resistance" – Live Performance

Experience a powerful multimedia performance featuring spoken word, live Bomba , and dance that culminates in a declaration of strength and pride.

Community Celebration

Join us for food, music, and meaningful conversation as we come together to honor service, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the Puerto Rican people.

This interactive experience fosters understanding, community, and pride through the universal language of art, celebrating the service and sacrifice of all those committed to la Patria.

For those on the islands and those in the diaspora, this is a reclamation of our narratives and a reminder: We are unbroken.
