The International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago (ILCC) is a Pan-Latino, nonprofit multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to developing, promoting and increasing awareness of Latino cultures among Latinos and other communities by presenting a wide variety of art forms including film, music, dance, visual arts, comedy and theater. The ILCC, originally founded as Chicago Latino Cinema, attained not-for-profit status in 1987, at which time it fulfilled its mission of promoting Latino culture primarily through the annual Chicago Latino Film Festival. As part of the Center’s mission, the Chicago Latino Film Festival and every cultural event presented by our organization serve as vehicles to break the barriers created and perpetuated by stereotypes, and provoke the audience to challenge mainstream ideals of the Latino identity by showing, through our cultural expressions, that Latinos are defined by more than 20 different nationalities and come from all social and racial backgrounds. As the demand grew for a wider range of cultural events; so did the offerings of the organization. In July 1999, Chicago Latino Cinema officially changed its name to the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago and expanded its programming to include music, theater, dance, comedy and art exhibits. Currently, the Center offers over ten annual events, including the Film Festival, which is its largest event.

What is Colombian Food? Since I moved here in 2003 from Bogotá, Colombia, my hometown, people have often asked me, "What is Colombian food?" Twenty-plus years ago, my answer would have been the same dishes everyone knows, like Bandeja Paisa, Arepa, Tamal, and Sancocho. But now, in 2024, I can proudly share that our gastronomy is experiencing a beautiful renaissance. Many of us have left Colombia to work in the best culinary scenes in the US, Europe, South America, and other amazing countries, and we are now bringing those influences back home. This past July 17th, a few days before our #Colombian Independence Day, I had the privilege of inviting some of the most talented Colombian chefs and bar professionals we have here in #Chicago and abroad to curate a menu showcasing what Colombian cuisine is nowadays at AMARU Restaurant in Chicago. What we witnessed was mind-blowing. I cannot be prouder or more excited about what we experienced that night. We saw a transformation in Colombian cuisine similar to what happened with Peruvian and Mexican cuisines in recent years. One unique aspect of #Colombia is its incredible diversity. With two oceans, various altitudes, and multiple climates, Colombia offers a vast array of fruits, vegetables, animals, flowers, and seeds. This diversity allows our chefs and bartenders to be incredibly creative, taking traditional dishes rooted in our heritage and elevating them even further. I believe Colombia is in a golden era right now for many reasons, and the world is taking notice. Our culinary professionals are receiving recognition from Michelin, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Bocuse d’Or, Coupe du Monde, James Beard Foundation, and many other prestigious organizations. I want to extend my gratitude to the following people for their support during this event. I look forward to organizing more exciting events to showcase not only the flavors of Colombia but also the stories of other countries shared through their cuisine.
