SUMMARY:Documents of Resistance: Our Time
DESCRIPTION:Antonio Serna: Documents of Resistance: Our Time \nSeptember 14th – October 28th \nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 14\, 2018\, 6-9PM \nLoisaida Center Inc. is pleased to present Documents of Resistance: Our Time\, a participatory exhibition and residency of new work by Antonio Serna. \nHow do we give contours to an art history that remains unwritten\, scattered across archives\, and siloed in scholarship? How can we begin to reconnect the struggle for civil rights across all artists of color and their fight for inclusion in our cultural institutions? How can we being to reflect on the complexity of artists of color and their unique experience\, political actions\, and art production as part of the art history in American? In the exhibition\, Documents of Resistance: Our Time\, Mexican-American artist\, Antonio Serna is hoping to take us down a visual path to consider these and many other questions in regards to the important but often overlook contributions of artist of color. \nCentral to the exhibition will be a series timeline collages of art and activism from each decade\, from 1960s up to our current decade. In combining the histories of artists of color\, visitors will be able to visually locate overlapping shared concerns and experiences of artists of color: from the Chicano Movement to the Black Power Movement\, and from the Labor Movement to the Feminist\, Third World Movement\, and beyond. Leading up to and during the exhibition\, Antonio Serna is asking the public to send in their memories of this resistance: people\, places\, or events relevant in order to continue to expand this histories. Serna’s interest is not just a reflection of the past hopes to inspire and empower a new generation of people of color to join the struggle in becoming the next generation of artists\, activists\, curators\, historians\, archivist\, and museum workers\, to help end discrimination in our cultural institutions. \nOriginally from San Antonio Texas\, Antonio Serna is a Mexican-American artist based in New York. Antonio maintains both a studio and collective social practice. These two practices often balance and ground the sum of his production. Antonio Serna holds a Masters in Fine Arts from Brooklyn College\, and a BFA from Parsons School of Art. He has exhibited in New York\, Texas\, Las Vegas\, Spain\, Mexico\, Berlin\, and Romania. His speaking engagements include ArtCenter\, Flux Factory\, CUE Foundation\, Brooklyn Museum\, Pratt\, Common Field Convening\, Eyebeam\, Smack Mellon\, Queens Museum\, and Museo Tamayo.

ACCIONES is the only hurricane-themed student art exhibit of its kind. \nFeaturing original works by Puerto Rican students\, from public and private schools\, the two-part New York presentation of ACCIONES will be available at The Loisaida Center\, September 20 through October 19; followed by the second part of the collection\, which will be presented at the Queens College Arts Center\, starting on October 4. \n“The collection communicates a profound sense of hope for the future\, as well as\, its serves as a poignant reminder of the long road ahead to help Puerto Rico fully recover from the storm’s devastation. Acciones also reveals the values that best represent the people of Puerto Rico; such as service\, family\, empathy\, solidarity\, hospitality\, culture\, love of nature and resiliency\,” expressed Frances I. Ryan\, executive director of the CHICAS Foundation. \n“Unveiling the exhibit in New York as we mark the first-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria\, is a fitting gesture of appreciation to all New Yorkers\, especially to the Puerto Rican community\, which immediately galvanized to provide humanitarian support to victims in the aftermath of\nthe hurricane\,” the CHICAS executive continued saying. \nAs one of the leading Puerto Rican community and cultural organizations in New York\, The Loisaida Center\, which in partnership with its umbrella organization\, Acacia Network\, has been at the center of New York’s humanitarian efforts to help Puerto Rico victims in the wake of Hurricane Maria. “Having ACCIONES at The Loisaida Center\, is also our way saying thank you\,” Ryan said\, adding that the presentation at Queens College provides a different\, yet very important academic setting\, consistent with the student art exhibit. \nImmediately after the passing of Hurricane Maria\, the CHICAS Foundation participated in 200 humanitarian missions around the island. Also\, in coordination with the Visual Arts Program of the Puerto Rico Department of Education\, CHICAS hosted\, Acciones\, an island wide contest for\nstudents\, grades K-12\, from public and private schools. \n\nDespite dire conditions\, nearly 100{d189f1124ffa6975f5923217354196c41f30852329af055ade71c436dc0b2403} of the island still in the dark\, without water\, telecommunications or access to roads\, an astounding 630 original works were submitted to participate in the Acciones art contest.\n\n A panel of artists\, art teachers and community leaders selected 80 paintings that became the exhibit’s official selection The CHICAS Foundation envisioned the hurricane-themed art initiative as an important communication forum for Puerto Rican students\, allowing them to express their life changing experiences and begin to heal through art. Many teachers participated in the art contest to facilitate communication with students as they returned to school after the hurricane. \n\n“Opinions like those expressed while in a panel\, presentation\, performance or through artwork are expressed by the author in their personal capacity and are the author’s own. They do not necessarily reflect the views of Loisaida Inc.\, its affiliates or staff.”
