Historias is excited to partner with MCNY to present a conversation on Printing Nueva York with author Kelley Krietz. Krietiz’s groundbreaking study maps the vibrant world of nineteenth-century Spanish-language print culture in New York, tracing networks of Cuban émigrés, political exiles, and Puerto Rican intellectuals who used newspapers, pamphlets, and literary journals to shape public discourse and assert self-representation.

Using Printing Nueva York as a historical anchor, the conversation will reflect on the longer continuities of Latinx knowledge circulation in New York—from nineteenth-century print networks to contemporary digital humanities projects such as Nueva York Chronicles. Kelly will be joined by Alana Casanova-Burgess, host and producer of WNYC’s NPR podcast La Brega. 

This conversation is moderated by Monxo López, MCNY’s Curator of Community Histories with an opening performance by Urayoán Noel, a writer, translator, and performer based in the Bronx who also is an Associate Professor of English, Spanish and Portuguese at New York University.
