SUMMARY:Angie Hernandez Gifts of the Magi at the Loisaida Center
DESCRIPTION:Location: Loisaida Center – 710 East 9th Street\, New York\, NY 10009\nDate: January\, 6th\, 2025\nDescription: Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6 throughout the Spanish-speaking world to mark the birth of Jesus and the gifts brought to the child by the Magi after following the star of Bethlehem\, which guided them through their journey. This tradition continues\, especially in the Loisaida community of Manhattan\, by the Puerto Rican families. In 2000\, with the support and encouragement of Carlos “Chino” Garcia and CHARAS\, María de los Angeles “Angie” Hernández Osorio\, an indefatigable advocate for Boricua culture\, education\, and the arts\, presented her first production of “The Gifts of the Magi.” The play was originally a longer theatrical piece showcased at the Henry Street Playhouse\, titled; “Peace/La Paz\,” co-written with Nuyorican poet Tato Laviera in the late ’80s. It has taken on various forms since its inception and evolved to a shorter\, more musical version\, produced and directed by Angie’s son\, musician\, and current board member of CHARAS\, David “Daso” Soto\, and presented at the Loisaida Center. \nThis year’s version of Angie Hernandez’ Gifts of the Magi will be presented exclusively to local children at the Loisaida Center on January 6\, 2025\, to celebrate the power of love\, family\, hope\, and the joy of childhood. \nCast: \n3 Kings: Kiki Cotto\, Marc Reign\, David Hernandez \nAstronomer: Ivan Calcano\n\nHerod: David DāSo Soto \nMary: Caridad De La Luz\nJoseph: Eric Diaz\n3 Dancers CAMELS / VEJIGANTES: Casidy\, Skylar & Sasha\n\nYoung Jesus: Pending\nGrown Jesus: Pending\n\n\n(*To be updated.)

DESCRIPTION:Join our Ecolibrium team at the Loisaida Center on (February 25\, 6 to 8 pm) for a presentation and visioning meeting that explores the transformation of our energy system from the old centralized static fossil-fueled electric grid\, to a responsive and participatory all-electric one serviced by distributed renewable energy resources (DER) and batteries. \nWe will present the concept of a community-scale “Virtual Power Plant” where solar and battery systems installed on buildings and in public spaces are coordinated and synchronized to behave as a single larger system. We will learn about “grid-interactive buildings”\, electric vehicle-to-building-to-grid charging\, community microgrids\, demand reduction and response\, and how these systems benefit residents\, building owners\, create jobs\, reduce building emissions\, relieve stress on the electric grid\, and provide resilient power to buildings during grid outages. \nThis program is made possible through the generous support from Con Edison\, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (Ladders for Leaders)\, CUNY Career Corps\, NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation\, U.S. Department of Education/Congressional Community Project Funding. \nImage design by: Grace Ballo \n  \nRSVP Link \n\nSponsors and Partners:

SUMMARY:Ecolibrium Community Meeting: Solar and Batteries in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Ecolibrium Community Meeting: Solar and Batteries in Public Spaces\nDate: April 24\, 2025\n⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nLocation: Loisaida Center\, 710 East 9th St\, NYC 10009\nJoin us for the next Ecolibrium Community Meeting\, where we’ll explore the role of solar energy and battery storage in public spaces and their integration into a community-scale Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This initiative connects solar and battery installations in public parks\, community centers\, and shared spaces with residential and commercial buildings\, creating a more resilient\, efficient\, and sustainable urban energy network. \nAt our last meeting\, we introduced the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept\, showcasing how distributed energy resources (DERs) can work together to support a decentralized\, clean energy grid. This session will dive deeper into the practical applications of solar and battery systems in public spaces\, highlighting their role in reducing emissions\, enhancing grid reliability\, and providing backup power during outages. \nWe’ll also provide an overview of Ecolibrium’s paid summer internship program\, which offers hands-on experience in engineering\, data science\, IT & cybersecurity\, environment\, digital arts\, media\, and economics—preparing students for careers in the green economy while working with our community to create a vision for a climate resilient future in the LES. \nLoisaida Center’s Ecolibrium program is committed to energy and climate justice\, empowering local talent to design and implement innovative sustainability solutions. By merging technical expertise\, creative problem-solving\, and community-centered action\, the program fosters the next generation of leaders in urban sustainability. \nBe part of the conversation—help shape the future of community energy!\nThis initiative is made possible through the generous support of Con Edison\, the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (Ladders for Leaders)\, CUNY Career Corps\, NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation\, and the U.S. Department of Education/Congressional Community Project Funding.

SUMMARY:Fiesta De Cruz en Loisaida
DESCRIPTION:“For nine consecutive years (1990–1999)\, during the celebration of Mayo Florido\, Madrina Milagros Rodríguez and the pleneros group El Quinto Sonó—composed of Enrique Díaz\, Echavarrias\, Johnny\, and Carmen—helped me fulfill my promise to the cross. I also send greetings to Norman Valee and José Lyn\, founders of the Green Oasis Garden on East 8th Street in New York\, who now smile down on us from heaven. We celebrated our Fiesta de la Cruz there for seven years. Special thanks to Samy Tanco\, Carmen Pabón\, Julio Picó\, Mercedes Amarilis Villaman\, Miguel Juan Concepción\, Dennis Girón\, Jeff Fogel\, Julio Peña\, and David Lemeire\, who dedicated their resources to sustaining and continuing the Fiestas de Cruz tradition in Loisaida. \nPuerto Ricans brought the Fiestas de Cruz to New York\, where they found fertile ground and took root. Just as in Puerto Rico\, in the great New York City metropolis these celebrations have evolved—from being intimate\, family-centered events to becoming large public gatherings with meticulous organization and the participation of hundreds of people. \nIt is expected that the six Fiestas de Cruz currently held in New York will continue. We even dare to predict a strengthening and expansion of the devotion to the Holy Cross\, a tradition that has adapted well to changing times without losing its spiritual essence and cosmic significance. \nNow rooted in concrete and snow\, the Fiestas de Cruz offer a space for community nourishment and empowerment\, a renewal of energy and faith in life. Devotees and participants remain loyal to them because of the deep benefits they experience—benefits that go beyond wholesome recreation or simple socializing. \nThe key lies in the symbol itself\, the revelation within the ideogram: there resides an epiphany. \nIn summary\, the journey undertaken toward the Fiestas de Cruz celebrated in New York is divided into two stages. The first analyzes the main components of the devotion in order to establish its origins\, similarities\, and meaning—seeking to uncover the mythical connections of universal resonance preserved within this particular expression.” \nLas Fiestas de Cruz se han celebrado en Puerto Rico por mas de doscientos anos\, arraigandose en el fervor popular como una de las preferidas o “tipicas”. Cuenta con celebraciones\, devotos y participantes a lo largo y ancho de la isla del encanto Borinquen\, pasando la prueba del tiempo\, han evolucionado desde el altar hogareno hasta la actual actividad publica con kioscos\, orquestas\, donde devotos hacen despliege de extravagantes altares\, politicos y firmas comerciales “hacen su agosto”. \nLos puertorriquefios trajeron las Fiestas de Cruz a Nueva York donde encontraron tierra fertil\, echando raices\, al igual queen Puerto Rico\, en la gran manzana neoyorquina se han transformado de ser un acontecimiento familiar en actos publicos\, de meticulosa organizaci6n\, contando con la participaci6n de cientos de personas. Se prevee un continuar de la celebraci6n de las seis Fiestas de Cruz queen la actualidad se llevan a cabo en Nueva York.  \nNos atrevemos a pronosticar un fortalecimiento y expansion de la devoci6n a la Santisima Cruz\, que tan bien se han amoldado a los tiempos sin desvirtuar su esencia espiritual de significado c6smico. Adaptadas al cemento y la nieve\, son las Fiestas de Cruz un espacio de alimentaci6n y fortalecimiento comunitario\, de renovaci6n de energias y fe en la vida\, que sus devotos y participantes siguen fieles a ellas por los beneficios obtenidos\, mas alla de la sana recreaci6n o mera socializaci6n. la clave del simbolo\, la revelaci6n del ideograma:  \nAhi reside Una epifania. Resumiendo\, el viaje emprendido hacia las Fiestas de Cruz celebradas en Nueva York\, esta dividido en dos etapas. En la primera se analizan los componentes principales de la devoci6n para establecer procedencia\, semejanzas\, significado\, queriendo encontrar las conexiones miticas de resonancias universales preservadas en el hecho particular.  \n-MAITREYI VILLAMAN MATOS\, LAS FIESTAS DE CRUZ EN NUEVA YORK.
