HablArte! Episode 1: Celebrating 25 Years of Cultural Impact

Join us for the first of eleven special episodes commemorating the 25th anniversary of the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago. Host James Klein sits down with Alejandro Riera, long time film critic and the Chicago Latino Film Festival's Press Coordinator, to explore the ILCC's most significant milestones, memorable highlights, and the distinctive qualities that have established it as Chicago's premier Latino cultural powerhouse.

This episode kicks off our anniversary series leading up to our celebratory fundraising dinner on November 14th, 2025 at CineCity Studios, featuring exclusive performances by special guest Alex Cuba and String Quartet Kaia. Discover what makes this institution truly unique in fostering community, preserving heritage, and promoting Latino arts and culture over the past quarter-century.

The International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of Hispanic and Latino arts. We believe this understanding can build a bridge to a broader appreciation and comprehension of the rich traditions and diverse influences that contribute to the greatness of America.
