Free, outdoor block party and screening at El Museo Latino!

In Gregory Nava’s 1997 biopic, Jennifer Lopez stars as the queen of Tejano music, an icon who was tragically slain by a fan at the age of 23.

The festivities are set to take place in the courtyard of El Museo Latino, 4701 South 25th St. At 7 pm, lawn seating opens and food trucks will be available. At 9 pm a brief bilingual presentation about the cultural and artistic significance of SELENA, which had a lasting impact on media representation of Latinos, will precede the screening
