For my presentation, “Eres mi otro yo? The Limits of Latinx Solidarity in Milta Ortiz’s musical, Anita,” I discussed the 2026 musical in the context of my research on Borderlands Theater as well as my 2023 interview with Milta Ortiz.
My highlights from the conference included the panels:
- “Afro-Latinx Intersectionalities” (Monika Gosin, Kaysha Corinealdi, Rebeca L. Hey-Colón, Paul Joseph López Oro),
- “Ecologies of Presence, Justice, and Kinship in Latine Literature” (David J. Vázquez, Christina Garcia López, Ylce Irizarry, Adrianna M. Santos, Celina Osuna),
- “Latine Feminist Literary Worlds” (Paulina Jones-Torregrosa, Paulina Jones-Torregrosa, Bill R. Johnson Gonzalez, J. Ramos), and
- “Monsters, Vampires, Witches: The Gothic in Latine Literature and Culture” (Sydni D. Salinas, Carolina Muñoz, Laura M Quijano, Eva A. Morales).
