This September, the Doris Z. Stone Latin American Library and Research Center at Tulane University will host Transformative Lenses: Four Contemporary Brazilian Photographers, an exhibition and series of events celebrating the work of internationally acclaimed photographers Rogério Assis, João Farkas, Rosa Gauditano, and Edu Simões. Together, their projects explore Brazil’s cultural traditions, environmental challenges, social justice movements, and Indigenous resilience, offering powerful perspectives on a country both richly diverse and deeply complex.

Join the Consulate of Mexico in New Orleans and the New Orleans Jazz Museum to celebrate Mexican Independence Day with live mariachi music, authentic Mexican cuisine from local vendors, and the ceremonial El Grito toast commemorating Mexico’s call for independence.

Sponsored by the Stone Center for Latin American Studies and hosted by The Broadside.

This 6-week program meets once per week, and each 90-minute session includes a free meal, complimentary book, read-alouds, and engaging Spanish-language discussions that help families connect personally with literature through open-ended questions that inspire critical thinking. Cynthia Garza, Senior Program Manager for Public Engagement, will be the storyteller for this series.
