A conversation celebrating Juliany Taveras ’16 (they/elle/naya) / LOMA, recipient of the Alumnae/i Association of Vassar College (AAVC) Young Alum Achievement Award, alongside their former professor, Associate Professor of English Hiram Pérez-Piña. Together, they will highlight LOMA’s remarkable achievements across playwriting, screenwriting, poetry, and graphic design, from writing on Amazon Prime’s With Love and adapting the award-winning stage play Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress to their animated feature debut, Julián, exploring how their multidisciplinary work builds kinship, honors ancestral memory, and centers Afro/Indigenous and queer/trans diasporic liberation.

Sponsored by the AAVC and the English Department, this event is free and open to the public and held online via Zoom. Registration required.
