De Aquí y de Allá

December 19, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Overview:

Event producer and musician Jocelyn Bonadio-de Freitas, has organized a series of three events premiering at Loisaida Inc. Center from March through September. The events will take place simultaneously at Loisaida Inc. on the Lower East Side and at the new :Pública art space in Santurce, Puerto Rico.

Description:

The third event organized by the artist for her residency will center around the theme of protest. Through an interactive “open studio” style conversation with guests at partnering nonprofit Cultural organization :Pública in Puerto Rico, attendees and participants will explore and think critically about recent Puerto Rican protests, that lead to the resignation of their governor. Our guests will also break bread, and enjoy a live music performance and debut song by Jocelyn. Through complex, relevant topics like food (in)justice, renewable energy, colonialism, protest, education, and privatization, the events seek to explore the ways in which Culture is informing and reshaping protest in the 21st century. Quotidian life now incorporates meaningful protest for the Puerto Rican diaspora, with a constant exchange of information, strategy and resources reinforced by their roots on the island. Each event will feature educational, engaging speakers, and live performances.


Presented as part of the Loisaida Inc. Center AIR Program. Discussion lead by resident artist; Jocelyn Bonadio-de Freitas.
