Join us for the *last* film in our Latinx Heritage Film Series about Basquiat!

Join us in the library for a Latinx Heritage Film Series. We will be showing two films, "Mayan Renaissance" for Rigoberta Menchú and "Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child" for Jean-Michel Basquiat.

“‘Mayan Renaissance’ tells four thousand years of Mayan history, from the Mayan point of view. This is a story that has never been told.” Mayan Renaissance will be shown on October 3 and we will be showing the same film in Spanish on October 5th.

The second film in our series will be Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child; “Director Tamra Davis pays homage to her friend in this definitive documentary.”
