Filming Flaco Navaja’s “Spoken Words” at the Hispanicize Event Intro

At the Hispanicize Event Intro, I had the honor of capturing the powerful performance of artist Flaco Navaja as he recited his compelling poem, Spoken Words. Flaco’s heartfelt delivery and dynamic presence brought the words to life, resonating deeply with the audience. As a filmmaker, it was a privilege to film such an intimate and powerful moment that highlighted the importance of spoken word and culture. His performance set the tone for the event, celebrating Hispanic voices and stories in an unforgettable way.

The energy in the room was electric as Flaco’s voice echoed through the venue, inviting the audience to reflect on the power of language and personal expression. His passionate recitation connected deeply with those in attendance, reminding us of the role art plays in our shared cultural identity. Capturing this moment was not just about documenting an event—it was about preserving the essence of a cultural movement and the vibrant artistry that thrives within the Hispanic community.
