Papi made World Literature Today’s list of 75 Notable Translations and has been made into a film directed by Noelia Quintero. Tentacle won the Grand Prize of the Association of Caribbean Writers. The Guardian praises its “dry, sardonic tone,” which “anchors the pulpy narrative, with its bloody violence, brutish sex and futuristic flourishes.” Following on her band’s 2010 cult hit record El Juidero, she released in 2020 her album Mandinga Times, to critical acclaim.\n\nCo-sponsored by LGBTQ Studies, Film & Media Studies, and the Africana & Latin American Studies program.\n\nIf you cannot join us in person and would like to attend via Zoom, registration is required.
