\n

Our mission is to connect Hispanic poetry and the arts across the United States, Latin America, and Spain, highlighting the historical, cultural, and linguistic bonds that unite Spanish-speaking communities worldwide. We envision a world in which Hispanic and Latinx voices are central to global cultural conversations, and where poetry and the arts serve as bridges across geographies, generations, and identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 505,000 Spanish speakers in Ohio and 38.3 million nationwide, Trasatl\u00e1ntica<\/em> aspires to become a key node in the cultural triangle formed by the United States, Latin America, and Europe around the Hispanic languages and cultures. Through creative expression and cross-cultural collaboration, we promote local, national, and international dialogue while positioning Cleveland as a global hub for Spanish-language literature and inclusive artistic exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the U.S. cultural landscape, many Spanish-speaking poets remain marginalized\u2014lacking access to spaces of publication, visibility, and critical engagement. Given the economic precarity of literary production, (\u201cbeing a poet\u201d is not a paid profession)creators often invest limited time and resources simply to find venues in which their work can be read, discussed, and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand social justice as inseparable from equitable access to cultural institutions, recognition of Hispanic and Latinx artistic production, and public visibility for the richness of our communities. In response, Trasatl\u00e1ntica<\/em> functions as a transnational platform that facilitates the exchange of ideas, cultures, and creative practices beyond U.S. borders. We offer artists a space to publish their work while fostering transatlantic dialogue with other historically underrepresented poets and scholars, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our organization advances the arts, poetry, and education through the following objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Foster the exchange of multilingual poetry by Latinx writers in the United States, Spain, and Latin America, alongside local poets and artists, contributing to a vibrant and diverse artistic ecosystem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote poetry and the arts through the dissemination, reception, and critical engagement with literary works from local and global contexts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Advance education by encouraging dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and the production of creative and scholarly work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Carry out all lawful activities that further charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Place poetry and the arts at the center of human interaction as tools for personal growth, community building, and intercultural exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our organization operates as a center for cultural diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. Its Board of Directors is composed of members of the Hispanic community from Cleveland, across the United States, and throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Our Editorial Board includes a diverse group of Hispanic writers, poets, and scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recognizing the long-standing underrepresentation of Hispanic and Latinx cultural production, we work to expand access to cultural spaces while amplifying creative voices often excluded from mainstream literary circuits. Through this commitment, we seek to foster sustained cultural and intellectual exchange across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Guided by this vision, our organization serves as a meeting point for creative and scholarly work. We also develop cultural initiatives such as poetry festivals, creative writing workshops, educational programs for the Hispanic community, and collaborative projects with partner organizations at the local, national, and international levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Misi\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nuestra misi\u00f3n es conectar la poes\u00eda y las artes hispanas en Estados Unidos, Latinoam\u00e9rica y Espa\u00f1a, destacando los lazos hist\u00f3ricos, culturales y ling\u00fc\u00edsticos que unen a las comunidades hispanohablantes de todo el mundo. Imaginamos un mundo en el que las voces hispanas y latinas sean fundamentales en los debates culturales globales, y en el que la poes\u00eda y las artes sirvan de puente entre geograf\u00edas, generaciones e identidades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Con m\u00e1s de 505 000 hispanohablantes en Ohio y 38,3 millones en todo el pa\u00eds, Trasatl\u00e1ntica aspira a convertirse en un nodo clave del tri\u00e1ngulo cultural formado por Estados Unidos, Latinoam\u00e9rica y Europa en torno a las lenguas y las culturas hispanas. A trav\u00e9s de la expresi\u00f3n creativa y la colaboraci\u00f3n intercultural, promovemos el di\u00e1logo local, nacional e internacional, al tiempo que posicionamos a Cleveland como centro global de la literatura en lengua espa\u00f1ola y el intercambio art\u00edstico inclusivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dentro del panorama cultural estadounidense, muchos poetas hispanohablantes siguen marginados, sin acceso a espacios de publicaci\u00f3n, visibilidad y compromiso cr\u00edtico. Dada la precariedad econ\u00f3mica de la producci\u00f3n literaria (\u201cser poeta\u201d no es una profesi\u00f3n remunerada), los creadores suelen invertir su limitado tiempo y recursos simplemente en encontrar lugares en los que su obra pueda ser le\u00edda, discutida y valorada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Entendemos que la justicia social es inseparable del acceso equitativo a las instituciones culturales, el reconocimiento de la producci\u00f3n art\u00edstica hispana y latina, y la visibilidad p\u00fablica de la riqueza de nuestras comunidades. En respuesta a ello, Trasatl\u00e1ntica funciona como una plataforma transnacional que facilita el intercambio de ideas, culturas y pr\u00e1cticas creativas m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las fronteras de Estados Unidos. Ofrecemos a los artistas un espacio para publicar su trabajo, al tiempo que fomentamos el di\u00e1logo trasatl\u00e1ntico con otros poetas y acad\u00e9micos hist\u00f3ricamente infrarrepresentados, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Objetivos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nuestra organizaci\u00f3n promueve las artes, la poes\u00eda y la educaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de los siguientes objetivos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Fomentar el intercambio de poes\u00eda multiling\u00fce de escritores latinos en Estados Unidos, Espa\u00f1a y Latinoam\u00e9rica, junto con poetas y artistas locales, contribuyendo a un ecosistema art\u00edstico vibrante y diverso.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Promover la poes\u00eda y las artes a trav\u00e9s de la difusi\u00f3n, la recepci\u00f3n y el compromiso cr\u00edtico con obras literarias de contextos locales y globales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Promover la educaci\u00f3n fomentando el di\u00e1logo, el intercambio de conocimientos y la producci\u00f3n de trabajos creativos y acad\u00e9micos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Llevar a cabo todas las actividades legales que promuevan fines ben\u00e9ficos y educativos en virtud del art\u00edculo 501(c)(3) del C\u00f3digo de Rentas Internas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Situar la poes\u00eda y las artes en el centro de la interacci\u00f3n humana como herramientas para el crecimiento personal, la construcci\u00f3n de comunidades y el intercambio intercultural.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Historia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Nuestra organizaci\u00f3n funciona como un centro para la diversidad cultural, la equidad, la inclusi\u00f3n y la justicia. Su junta directiva est\u00e1 compuesta por miembros de la comunidad hispana de Cleveland, de Estados Unidos y de todo el mundo hispanohablante. Nuestro consejo editorial incluye un grupo diverso de escritores, poetas y acad\u00e9micos hispanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conscientes de la prolongada infrarrepresentaci\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n cultural hispana y latina, trabajamos para ampliar el acceso a los espacios culturales y amplificar las voces creativas que a menudo quedan excluidas de los circuitos literarios dominantes. A trav\u00e9s de este compromiso, buscamos fomentar un intercambio cultural e intelectual sostenido m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las fronteras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Guiados por esta visi\u00f3n, nuestra organizaci\u00f3n sirve como punto de encuentro para el trabajo creativo y acad\u00e9mico. Tambi\u00e9n desarrollamos iniciativas culturales como festivales de poes\u00eda, talleres de escritura creativa, programas educativos para la comunidad hispana y proyectos de colaboraci\u00f3n con organizaciones asociadas a nivel local, nacional e internacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
