SUMMARY:Museo del Westside Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the grand opening of the Museo del Westside\n\nThe Museo del Westside is the realization of a dream sparked by the Westside community’s fight to preserve our neighborhoods. For years\, the loss of historic buildings and our cultural way of life threatened the heart of our barrio. After the struggle to save La Gloria in 2002\, community members formed the Corazones del Westside. They began gathering stories\, nurturing a vision for a place that would honor our history. That vision found its home in 2008 when Esperanza acquired Ruben’s Ice House. Built by the hard work of hundreds of contributors—from historians and architects to countless neighbors donating photos and artifacts—the Museo is a true community achievement. It is a testament to the fact that our culture and history will endure! \nConfirmed speakers include Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones and Councilwoman Teri Castillo\, alongside retired professor Tomás Ybarra Frausto\, the honorable María Antonietta Berriozábal\, members of the Museo’s advisory committee and singer Blanquita Rodriguez. The morning’s ceremonies will be emceed by La Chata Noelesca\, a character brought to life by educator and performer Rita Urquijo-Ruiz. \n\n\n 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬\n11 AM Blanca Rodriguez with Henry Gomez y Mariachi Esperanza\n12 PM Panfilo’s Güera\n 1 PM Azul Barrientos\n 2 PM Rito y Hunter\n 3 PM Panfilo's Güera\n 4 PM Santiago Jimenez Jr. y Su Conjunto\n\nAll day poetry readings by Teatro Esperanza\n\n𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬\nThe day will feature educational workshops designed to engage the community in history and preservation.\n11 AM Mexican Genealogy 101 — with Donna Guerra\n12 PM Family Search — with Sylvia Reyna\n 1 PM Guadalupe: Historia y Recuerdos — with David Mercado Gonzales & Xavier Sánchez\n 2 PM Complexities & Joys of Creating a Community Museum — with Antonia Castañeda\n 3 PM Growing Up in an Ice House was Cool — with the Reyes family   \n 4 PM - Memorias de mi Tía Romanita La Partera — with Patty Silva
