PMA Ph.D. Student Isabel Padilla Carlo has published an article called “Rican(actments): Mourning, Kinship, and Existential Waiting in Natalia Lassalle-Morillo’s En Parábola/Conversations on Tragedy (2024)" in Centro’s blog RicanWritings.
“This short essay is part of a collection dedicated to Diasporican artists,” said Padilla Carlo. “My interest in Lassalle-Morillo's work stems from her methodology, as she utilizes theater, filmmaking, participatory research, and Caribbean thought, traversing both screen and stage to harness the magic of film editing and ephemeral performance. As a Ph.D. student in a department such as PMA that seeks to bridge the fields of film, theater, dance, media studies, and performance studies (not only to think across disciplines but also to create interdisciplinary work) examining artists who operate at this point of convergence is especially important for my research. As a Diasporican scholar, this work speaks to my own migratory moves, mi propio vaiven, from Puerto Rico to Ithaca.”
