In this program, organized by Kislak Center Curator Carol Damian in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the artist speaks with Damian about the extraordinary text of Las Casas, known as the “Protector of the Indians,” and why it has inspired him to address his own identity and relationship to the legacies of the Caribbean. Betancourt will talk about his work inspired by the extraordinary Bartolomé de las Casas, the sixteenth-century Spanish friar who argued for the rights and humanity of the enslaved Native Americans in the New World.
