In and Out of Focus: Media and AfroLatin@ Representation

9:15am-10:45am

FRIDAY, October 24

Graduate Center of The City University of New York

This panel addresses the presence of Afro-Latin@s in media, with a focus on news media platforms. We will assess differences in inclusion among Spanish-language and English-language media and explore how Afro-Latin@ media professionals impact news coverage and why it matters. To what degree are Afro-Latin@s represented or excluded as media professionals in newspapers, magazines, radio, television and digital media--from entry level to executive level positions. Are the numbers of Afro-Latin@ media professionals proportional to their numbers in the population? What needs to change and what strategies could produce that change?

PANELISTS:

Magdalena Albizu, Filmmaker, NEGRITA documentary

Lori Robinson

Malín Falú

José Griñán

Ed Morales

NEGRITA destaca experiencias individuales de mujeres Afro-Latinas que cubren una gama racial y étnica muy amplia, revelando los factores psicológicos y sociales que añaden a la confusión, la incertidumbre, la vergüenza y la afirmación de la imagen de sí misma; de ser tanto “Negra” como “Latina”.

The director of NEGRITA explains the concept of "Adelantar la Raza" and how it has been perpetuated by earlier generations of her family.

NEGRITA, written and directed by Magdalena Albizu, is a documentary about the Afro-Latina identity and experience in the United States. In their own words, empowered, self-affirming educated Afro-Latinas, located across the United States, share their experiences of living with a changing, often contested identity in a racialized society and how it affects their personal and professional lives.

NEGRITA aims to establish a ‘black’ consciousness across all generations by reigniting a movement to embrace Latinos’ African roots through a trans-national dialogue on race, identity, ethnicity, nationality and community-building.

NEGRITA

Racially Black. Ethnically Latina.

NEGRITA, written and directed by Magdalena Albizu, is a documentary about the Afro-Latina identity and experience in the United States.

Black Latinos/as are often overlooked or dichotomized as either "black" or "hispanic" in the United States.  However, according to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) , Hispanic or Latino origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Hispanic or Latino origin is independent of race and is termed "ethnicity" by the United States Census Bureau.

NEGRITA highlights individual unique Afro-Latina experiences within a broader racial and ethnic range, while revealing psychological and social factors that add to the confusion, uncertainty, shame and affirmation about one's self-image of being both "Black" and "Latina".

NEGRITA aims to establish a ‘black’ consciousness across all generations by reigniting a movement to embrace Latinos’ African roots through a trans-national dialogue on race, identity, ethnicity, nationality and community-building.
