SUMMARY:Pop-up: Kyle Carrero Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Kyle Carrero Lopez reads from his new poetry collection Party Line at Portland Art Museum in the Northwest Art gallery (Level 4\, Room 402)\, paired with V. Maldonado\, Sala Roja. \nAbout Party Line:\nKyle Carrero Lopez’s electrifying debut collection centers three interconnected forces: social life\, US-Cuba relations\, and the lives of Black people in the United States and Cuba. Through familial\, satirical\, and geopolitical lenses\, Party Line considers how countries—and people—wield power over those they have othered. \nThe collection features a series meditating on tensions embedded in party spaces. Carrero Lopez challenges assumptions that these spaces are apolitical or purely escapist\, revealing unexpected connections between individuals’ actions and those of the state. His work expands bridges between US and Cuban art by developing an urgent poetics around the material conditions of the US embargo and challenging whitewashed images of Cuban Americans in the US imagination. \nAlternating between humor and lyric severity\, playfulness and political critique\, these poems negotiate contradiction with linguistic dexterity and critical consciousness\, proving that political poetry can be both serious and joyously alive.
