The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance Presents the Exhibition ‘La Primera Parada’

Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Local News

The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance joins the nation and the world in commemorating 50 Years of Stonewall with the exhibition La Primera Parada (The First Parade): Chicago’s Stonewall Moments.  The Stonewall Riots marked a turning point in American society and in this exhibit; we explore its impact in Chicago’s LGBTQ communities of color. La Primera Parada conveys the idea that we all have a defining ‘Stonewall Moment’ in our journey of self-identification—a moment where we say “Quiet No More” to proudly walk out in revelation of who we are and what we stand for. The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance cordially invites the community to the Opening Reception of the exhibition on Saturday September 21st, at 6:30 to 9p.m., at PRAA Center, 3000 N Elbridge Ave (parking available at US Bank Employee lot on Oakdale St). This is a free admission family event open to the Chicago community. After the opening reception the exhibition will be in display during regular hours Monday to Friday: 10a.m., to 4: 30p.m, or by scheduling an appointment to archivo@praachicago.org.
