Las Voces del Barrio: Hispanic Heritage Month Open Mic

Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual celebration of the contributions and influence of Hispanic citizens and migrants to US achievements, culture, and history. The month celebrates Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, which currently make up the largest ethnic minority group in the United States (over 68 million people).

Join Literary Cleveland, JP “BARRiOBOY” Hernandez, and One Mic Open on Friday, October 23 from 6-8pm as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Las Voces del Barrio, a free open mic featuring poets Carolina Borja, Juan Caminero, Damiana Jimenez, and Ingid Jimenez, hosted by Eric Odum (creator of One Mic Open).

Las Voces del Barrio will take place at Julia De Burgos Cultural Art Center (2800 Archwood Avenue, Cleveland OH 44109), a family-oriented center to serve Latino youth and their families through programs and activities designed to foster cultural pride and art appreciation.
