2022 LLN Hispanic Heritage Month

Lunch and Learn Events

 

To celebrate the 2022 Hispanic Heritage Month, the Latino Leadership Network is organizing a series of four lunch and learn Zoom webinars. These webinars are open to all; you don't have to be Latino nor a member of LLN to participate.

You will need to register for each lunch and learn separately at least 24-hours in advance to be able to access the meeting link. We encourage you to register early as space is limited. 

A recording of some of these presentations will be available in the Latino Leadership Network’s YouTube channel at the end of Hispanic Heritage Month. 

We encourage you to share these events with other members of your agency and organizations.

If you have any questions, please contact lln@ofm.wa.gov

A Conversation with Maestro Alfredo Arreguin

Seattle-based Alfredo Arreguin is an internationally known and recognized visual artist of Mexican descent. Within the Latino community, he is recognized as a Maestro, a term of respect that alludes to both his talent and experience as a teacher and mentor. 

In this webinar, Maestro Arreguin will discuss his inspiration, career highlights, and the techniques of his pattern painting style, which reflects his Mexican and Pacific Northwest roots. Arreguin has been recognized as “an artist of magic, mystery, and revelation whose place in the history of North American art has already been secured,” critic Lauro Flores writes in his book about the artist.

Event 3:

What's in a Name?

A Community by Many Other Name(s)

Thursday, October 6, 12 pm to 1 pm| Zoom Registration

In this webinar, members of the Latino Leadership Network will discuss how the community has been historically known and referred to in the United States. While there is no consensus within the community of what our name should be, historical and current debates about nomenclature reveal the complexities of immigration, acculturation, and identity for this diverse group. We will engage in conversation about names such as Latino/a/e/x, Hispanic, Boricua, Chicano/a/e/x, and others, to learn about the community’s heritage, roots, and markers of identity.
