Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture and the Bronx Council on the Arts presents Half and Half, a four-person panel focusing on the construction of Dominican and Haitian national identities, taking into consideration their dismissal of each other’s presence on the same Caribbean island. Hosted and moderated by Nicolas Dumit Estevez, this panel discussion will take place at 6:00pm sharp on Thurs., Mar. 11, at the Longwood Arts Gallery at Hostos Community College, 450 Grand Concourse at 149th Street. Admission is free and all are welcome.
This panel consists of two Dominicans and two Haitians: Diógenes Abreu, author of Perejil; Vladimir Cybil Charlier, artist; Sandy Plácido, activist; and Miriam Neptune, activist and filmmaker. Half and Half offers the speakers and those present the opportunity to discuss and reflect on one of the most controversial situations today in terms of race, ethnicity, politics and the legacy of colonialism in the Americas.
This panel will serve as a fundraiser for Haiti. All of the proceeds collected during the event will be donated to Seeds for Haiti.
Selected materials from the video-photographic documentation created by Sol Aramendi for Borderless in the Dominican Republic and New York City, plus Estevez’s television appearances in the Dominican Republic will be projected during the evening. A transcription of the panel will be printed as a booklet to be shared with a wider audience. This material will later serve as the conceptual basis for upcoming art workshops to be implemented with Dominican, Haitian, Dominican-Haitian and Haitian-Dominican participants in Guayubín, the town in the Dominican Republic where most of Estevez’s paternal family resides.
From 2008 until the present, Estevez has been journeying from his home in the South Bronx to his birthplace in Santiago de los Treinta Caballeros, Dominican Republic in order to trace and confirm any connection that he or his family may possibly have to the neighboring Republic of Haiti. Estevez goes to great lengths to prove what most Dominicans would prefer to bury as deeply as possible: any relationship with their neighbors.
Borderless is presented with support from Art Matters, Printed Matter and supported in part by the Ford Foundation, JPMorgan Chase and South West Airlines through a grant from the NALAC Fund for the Arts. Half and Half is presented with the generous support of The Bronx Council on the Arts.

Dr. Stuart Chen-Hayes of Lehman College has spearheaded the creation of a new DVD that is the first to focus on equity-based school counseling, with an emphasis on ensuring academic, career and college success for all the nation’s K-12 students.
Produced in the college’s new Multimedia Center, the video features practical, scenario-based vignettes from faculty, students and alumni of Lehman’s graduate program in school counseling. The goal of the DVD is to broaden understanding within the profession of what equity-based school counseling means and how it can be implemented.
Counselors are encouraged to take a “whole-school approach” when making certain that students acquire ACCESS competencies (academic, career, college access, emotional/personal, and social/cultural skills) throughout elementary, middle and high school. New York City middle school counselors, for example, are urged to help students see how their choice of a high school has great implications for college and career goals and how the high school application process parallels what they will be expected to do for college admissions.
Dr. Chen-Hayes is a member of Lehman’s Department of Counseling, Leadership, Literacy and Special Education, where he directs the master’s program in school counseling. The new video was produced by Lehman’s Media Technology Services Manager, Jerry Barnard, and is being marketed worldwide to school counselor educators, directors of school and college counseling programs, and K-12 school counselors by Microtraining & Associates.
