SUMMARY:HOMENAJE: The Traveling Exhibit Honoring Our Puerto Rican and Nuyorican Heroes
DESCRIPTION:  \nHOMENAJE: The Traveling Exhibit Honoring Our Puerto Rican and Nuyorican Heroes\nThis traveling exhibit\, consisting of 17 by 11 horizontal posters\, pays tribute and homage to those Puerto Ricans and Nuyoricans who have paved the way for others over the past twenty to sixty years and who are still in the forefront of the fight for recognition\, parity\, and equity for all Puerto Ricans. The heroes featured in HOMENAJE are our Puerto Rican heroes\, and they are and have been our voices. The exhibit introduces our heroes to a new generation of Puerto Ricans throughout New York City. To that end\, each portrait is accompanied by a loosely biographical story that reveals each hero’s unique personality and idiosyncrasies. The posters are strung together in different configurations using clotheslines and clothespins—reminiscent of how clothes were dried in the old days from tenement windows and how clothes are still dried in many places in Puerto Rico. Some of the cultural icons who are featured in HOMENAJE include writers/poets Nicholasa Mohr\, Miguel Algarín\, Dr. Nancy Mercado\, Dr. Myrna Nieves and Jesús Papoleto Meléndez; opera singer Eva de la O; musicians Johnny Colón\, Bobby Sanabria and Orlando Marín; artists Marcos Dimas and Nitza Tufiño; activists Terésa Santiago\, Sery Colón and Jaime Estades; choreographers Merián Sóto and Arthur Áviles; and boxer Carlos Ortiz. \n  \nHOMENAJE is a traveling exhibit\, a modern take on the original groundwork laid by the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater. It will tour different Puerto Rican neighborhoods in New York City—from community centers to bodegas to galleries to senior centers to museums to local colleges and schools to local teen hangouts. Instead of asking Puerto Ricans to go to a gallery or museum to see the work\, the exhibition visits the typical  Puerto Rican in his/her own Puerto Rican neighborhood. \n  \nFor more information on the exhibit\, go to Homenaje: A Traveling Homage to Our Puerto Rican Heroes and Facebook. \nViewing hours by appointment only\, for more info email: alejandro@loisaida.org

SUMMARY:Invisible Loisaida - Ideas City
DESCRIPTION:IDEAS CITY\nPart of the Street Program 12:00 -6:00pm \nLoisaida Inc: Invisible Loisaida \nThe booth by Loisaida\, Inc. will play with the visible and invisible tensions of rescued social spaces\, their cultural output\, and their lack of inclusion in the mainstream story line of the Lower East Side. Through a collaborative installation by resident artists Edgardo Tomás Larregui and Alejandro Epifanio\, the booth will recreate the vernacular architecture of “seclusion” and social gathering elements of the traditional casita or urban community garden. Our casita also involves a strategy to render visible the reality of Loisaida\, Inc.\, a social-cultural-artistic community (Latino/Puerto Rican Lower East Side)\, whose contributions to New York City and the downtown scene have usually remained unacknowledged\, absent\, and invisible to the hegemonic artistic and cultural narratives of New York City’s creative myth. The presentation will feature a listening station of oral histories by Laura Zelasnic\, performances by ongoing Loisaida Center collaborators and projects: the Salvage Project; Flux Theater Ensemble; the Plenatorium\, which nurtures and documents the “plena universe”; and Edwin Torres\, a Nuyorican poet\, performer\, and downtown icon\, who will explore the nonappearance of “No-isaida.” \n\nA– ONGOING programming throughout the day: \n1. Display and live screen-printing of the templates and prints developed and produced through our workshop: Building Community Through the Arts\, a partnership with Hester Street Collaborative. \n2. Listening Station featuring oral histories focused on local Latino cultural and community organizations such as CHARAS and Loisaida\, Inc.\, by Laura Zelasnic. \n3. Visual Collaborative Installation(s) between artist collaborators of the Loisaida Center. The entire booth will act as an installation and visual collaboration between visual artist’s Alejandro Epifanio and Edgardo Larregui with the support of Urban Garden Center NYC. \n\nB– SCHEDULED programming by time-slots: \n3:00 pm – The Salvage Project: \nStory circles facilitated by the Loisaida Center’s artistic residents Flux Theater Ensemble where community members will share the stories of a precious object and have their stories transformed by professional playwrights into short monologues. \nhttp://www.fluxtheatre.org/2015/02/flux-announces-art-residency-loisaida-center/ \n4:00 pm – Edwin Torres:\n“Nuyorican” (New York-Puerto Rican) poet-performer-sound artist and downtown icon will present work based on the Invisible Loisaida theme. Torres’s work bridges numerous downtown and Loisaida traditions and scenes\, from the Poetry Project at St. Mark’s Church to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and beyond. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Torres_(poet) \n5:00pm – PLENATORIUM: \nA project initiative of the Loisaida Center focused on the nurturing and documentation of the practice of Puerto Rican plena\, a genre of popular traditional music\, song and dance native to the island of Puerto Rico\, but related to similar Afro-diasporic expressions throughout the Caribbean and commonly present within the casita/community garden culture. \nPlanetarium means a space for the plena-universe of activities such as forums\, workshops\, performances\, and other forms of plena-focused sociocultural participation. \nhttp://loisaida.org/plenatorium/ \n\nInvisible Loisaida is made possible by:“Sprawling family-owned garden resource for plants\, seeds\, sod\, tools\, accessories & firewood” \nAddress: 1640 Park Ave\, New York\, NY 10035 \nPhone:(646) 872-3991 \nHours: 9:00 am – 7:00 pm \n\n
