In an article by Eva Recinos in the newspaper's September 16 issue, the Daily Trojan featured the Festival de Flor y Canto: Yesterday • Today • Tomorrow. The three-day event, hosted by the USC Libraries in conjunction with USC Visions and Voices, reprises a landmark Chicano literary festival that USC hosted in 1973. The festival is taking place Wednesday, September 15 through Friday, September 17 in the Friends of the USC Libraries Lecture Hall on the second floor of Doheny Memorial Library.
Recinos' article includes an interview with event co-organizer Michael Sedano, who captured the original festival as a Daily Trojan photographer. Sedano's photographs of Chicano authors and poets are the basis for the libraries' latest exhibition, Sueños by the Sea. The exhibit is on display from now through December 15 in Doheny Memorial Library's Ground Floor Rotunda. An opening reception for the exhibition will be held Friday, September 17 and is free and open to the public.
