SUMMARY:La Vitrina Rota - Book Presentation by Silverio Perez
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 29th at 6:30pm\nLoisaida Inc. Center hosts Silverio Pérez in the presentation and signing of autographs for his new book: \nLa Vitrina Rota “The Broken Glass Case” or What the hell happened here?\n\nAbout the book: \nThe broken glass case\, or what the hell happened here? Is a hybrid text that takes hold of what memory is and what memory offers\, it is autobiographical\, and a “history-o-graphic” essay. Narrated using the most respectable seriousness\, the most pure emotion and a suggestive taunt\, it leaves us a text that invites reflection and calm\, but also calls to action and maybe encourages a calculated rebellion. All written in a tragicomic or comedic-serious tone so typical of the picaresque narrative that accompanies the Puerto Ricans from a remote past. \nWhat Silverio does in this intense and moving volume is to look at that long 20th century that began in 1898 and continues in 2016\, the American century\, in the light of a repeated “promise” unfulfilled. \nExceptional witness of the time he has lived will prepare the reader for a time where “history” and “life” converge in an enviable balance. \nIt is also a historical and vital responsibility\, well fulfilled. \nRead Press Release here. \nPlease RSVP\, spaces are limited. \n\nAbout the author: \nSilverio Pérez (born July 18\, 1948) is a musician\, writer\, comedian\, entrepreneur and broadcasting media host\, born in Guaynabo\, Puerto Rico. He is known for several reasons\, among them: \n\nHosting several successful Puerto Rican television shows during his career.\nPerforming with the known group of political satire called Los Rayos Gamma (The Gamma Rays)[1][2]\nPerforming with the nueva trova group called Haciendo Punto en Otro Son.\nHis motivational lectures which are usually called “Humortivación” (Humortivation).

SUMMARY:Rompiendo Puertas - Break and Enter a.k.a. Squatters (Newsreel #62)
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. in collaboration with Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space and Third World Newsreel are proud to present: \nBreak and Enter a.k.a. Squatters (Newsreel #62)\n\nDuration: 40 min.\n\nDoors open at: 7:00 pm\n\nOVERVIEW:\nThis film captures the militant antecedents to today’s housing reclamation movement in New York City. In 1970\, several hundred Puerto Rican and Dominican families reclaimed housing left vacant by the city. They pulled the boards off the doors\, cleaned and repaired the buildings and moved in.Third World Newsreel’s historical Newsreel collection provides contemporary audiences with a vast archive of political documentary films chronicling the social movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s \n\nThanks to the generous contributions of the National Film Preservation Foundation\, BREAK AND ENTER has been preserved and is available for purchases and rentals.BREAK AND ENTER was preserved thanks to the generous support of the National Film Preservation Foundation. This film is available for public screenings.\n\nREVIEWS:\n“…the film is one of the first to represent working class Latinos-particularly Latinas-as active agents of change in new social movements… Break and Enter can be understood as part of the Puerto Rican cultural “renaissance” or innovative cultural formations that emerged in the city during the late 1960s and unsettled the distinctions between art and politics as well as imagined new ways of being in the city.” \n– Frances Negron-Muntaner\, Latino Arts and Activism Archive at Columbia University \n“This film emerges as one of Newsreel’s most powerful films.” \n– Cynthia A. Young\, Soul Power \n\n\n\n\nKICKING-OFF THE EVENING WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING AND PRESENTATION OF:\nVoces de Fillmore\nDuration: 19 min.\n\nAriana Allensworth\, Teresa Basilio & Regina Eaton\nProducer: Third World Newsreel Workshop\n2015\nUS\nEnglish and Spanish with English subtitles\n \n\nThis documentary traces the memories and experiences of families living on one block located in South Williamsburg\, a Brooklyn neighborhood that is affectionately known by long time residents as Southside or Los Sures. In the past decade\, Southside’ Latinx and working class population has steadily decreased from seventy to forty-five percent\, in part due to gentrification in New York City. In this film\, Puerto Rican families who have lived and raised children in Los Sures for several decades talk about their quest to preserve a sense of community in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. \nBios: \nTeresa Basilio Gaztambide is originally from San Juan\, Puerto Rico and has been living in Brooklyn for the past 20 years. Currently Teresa is the Deputy Director for New America’s Resilient Communities Program working with Hurricane Sandy impacted neighborhoods to co-design\, build and maintain weather-resistant and locally controlled wifi networks. Prior to joining New America\, Teresa was the Co-Executive Director of Global Action Project (G.A.P.)  a social justice youth media organization that works with youth most impacted by injustice to build the knowledge\, tools\, and relationships needed to create media for community power\, cultural expression and political change. Teresa is also a multidisciplinary artist and organizer. Her latest production Voces de Fillmore  is a documentary on the experiences of Puerto Rican families living in one block in the neighborhood of Los Sures in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn dealing with the impact of the gentrification and displacement of their working class community.  She recently co-organized the Detroit – Puerto Rico Solidarity Exchange which brought together a delegation of 80 Detroit and Puerto Rican organizers and cultural workers (from the island and diaspora)  committed to grassroots efforts rooted in self-determination to the Allied Media Conference. \nRose Muzio is Associate Professor of Politics at SUNY Old Westbury and author of Radical Imagination Radical Humanity: Puerto Rican Political Activism in NY. The book provides the first in-depth account of the origins and activism of El Comite-Movimiento de Izquierda Nacional Puertorriqueno\, one of the main organizations of the Puerto Rican Left in the 1970s. Operation Move-In is discussed at length in both the book and a previously published article in Centro\, Journal of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies.  \nCarmen Martell (who appears briefly in the film) has resided in the Upper West Side for over 60 years since coming to New York from Puerto Rico as a child. She was an organizer and participant in Operation Move-In\, the Secretary of Organization of El Comite for a decade\, and more recently one of the “35 women for Oscar” who helped gain Obama’s last-minute release of Oscar Lopez Rivera. Carmen worked for former Borough President Ruth Messinger and for many years was the Director of Human Resources of UniteHere Health Center.

SUMMARY:Tale 53;Snowhite
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. & Maskhunt Motions proudly present:\nTale 53;Snowhite\nwith: Deborah Hunt & Shanti Lalita\n\nTale 53; Snowhite is a sinister story told inside an intriguing wooden artefact that houses a toy theatre (with two- dimentional painted puppets moving on tracks)\, objects\, a kamishibai (for backdrop changes) and a cranky or moving panorama. It is based on “Snowhite”\, the creation of reknowned Spanish author and illustrator Ana Juan. \nDeborah Hunt\, (theatre maker\, maskbuilder and operator\, puppeteer\, teacher and autor) has adapted and directed the tale and manipulates the puppets and backdrops. Shanti Lalita\, (cellist\, poet and performer) is the composer and live musician. \nFar from the disneyesque version of Snow White\, our tale relates the life of a young woman who falls prey to a blood thirsty stepmother\, an hostile city\, hustling dwarves and a rapacious prince. Based on the original story Tale 53 (The Little Snow White) of the Grimm Brothers published in 1812\, the story of Ana Juan offers a biting and pertinent stare at the situation of women still relevant to our times. Justaposed with the beauty of the puppets\, objects and painted backdrops\, Tale 53;Snowhite promises a unique theatrical experience. \nToy theatre is a kind of theatre in miniature that flourished in the 19th century in Europe. The small theatres\, scenery\, backdrops and characters were printed on paper\, painted and cutout and the stories were presented in the salas and drawing rooms of private houses\, often accompanied with live music. \nHunt has presented the work in Puerto Rico (San German and San Juan) at the Odin Teatret in Denmark and now in New York. It will be presented at the Festival Internacional de Títeres de Matanzas en Cuba in 2018. Additionally I can offer a daylong workshop using the artefact of the show (toy theatre\, kamishibai\, cranky) as a point of departure. Participants work in groups creating short stories using these techniques. \n\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Fantasy Island: Exhibition Closing
DESCRIPTION:For Shey Rivera Ríos and Huáscar Robles\, Hurricane María is an atmospheric manifestation compounded by the fiscal crisis troubling Puerto Rico’s urban landscape. The installation and performance Fantasy Island is an experience that explores how tourism and consumer culture sell a “fantastical” luxury lifestyle\, a tropical paradise twisting crisis into “opportunity”. A door opens into a real estate office selling dreams of luxury and reconstruction and the viewer delves into a dizzying spell of animated gifs\, performance and altars. \nFor Fantasy Island\, Rivera transformed Loisaida’s space into a real estate office surrounded by a black and white grid that envelops visitors while monitors flash GIFs that borrow aesthetics from the vaporwave movement. In one image\, a hand waves a wad of cash to a “Puerto Rico” neon sign while icons of the Virgin Mary and a ram\, both cultural symbols of Puerto Rico’s syncretism and colonial history\, spin in an enticing\, dizzying spell. Viewers are also inspired to reflect on how natural disasters such as the path of hurricanes affecting not only Puerto Rico but also our Caribbean neighbors maybe twisted into “opportunity” after the crisis subsides. \nFor the Loisaida Center\, a cultural enterprise with deep roots in the Nuyorican and Latinx New York community\, Fantasy Island stretches the island to New York and its Puerto Rican and Caribbean diaspora as it hits common issues they all grapple with. \nThe opening reception will include a special performance. \nThroughout the fall\, and beyond\, the Loisaida Inc. Center’s programming will provide opportunities to pledge support to the relief and recovery efforts in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:ReconstruirMX@Loisaida
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on January 13th\, 2018 for a night of music\, dance\, tamales and the celebration of the artistic spirit in the rebuilding efforts of communities impacted by the 2017 earthquakes in Mexico. Performances by Sandra Soto Silva\, The Josh Craig and more. \nIn November of 2017 an art benefit was held  at 41 Cooper Gallery for communities devastated by earthquakes in Mexico. Through the raffling of over 100 artworks generously donated by local and international artists we were able to fundraise  $13\,000 USD in support of the relief and rebuilding efforts of the artist collective Los Carpintruenos\, the Museo Comunitario del Valle de Xico\, and Centro Cultural Bacaanda. \nWhile we began organizing partly due to our familial ties to Mexico and with the intention of making a gesture of support and camaraderie across borders\, these efforts have been an urgent reminder to connect with international artistic communities; the need to stay connected\, share stories and ideas\, and cultivate long lasting relationships that transcend locality and lived experiences. \nIn December we visited Los Carpintruenos and the Museo Comunitario del Valle de Xico\, whose work and energy is truly impressive and inspiring. The purpose of the upcoming event at Loisaida is to share the stories of these artistic communities and their impassioned work as well thank our extended NYC community for their ongoing support. \n\nLos Carpintruenos\, whose name combines carpinteros (carpenters) and truenos (thunder)\, is a group of seven volunteers whose mission is to generate effective\, quick\, and direct aid in the construction of houses and temporary refuges in both a long- and short-term capacity to regions affected by the earthquake. Los Carpintruenos met while assisting with carpentry\, demolition\, reconstruction\, and rescue work in the area around calle de Gabriel Mancera\, Mexico City’s post-earthquake “ground zero”. Buoyed by a sense of purposeful collective energy\, they decided to stay in touch as they continued to assist with rebuilding efforts throughout the capital. More recently\, they have expand their work beyond Mexico City\, transporting supplies to the towns of Jojutla and El Jicarero in the state of Morelos and to this date successfully built 16 wooden houses for individuals and families left homeless. \nMuseo Comunitario del Valle de Xico located in Valle de Chalco\, on the outskirts of Mexico City\, the Museo Comunitario del Valle de Xico was built on an ex-hacienda dating to 1529. The Museum now houses an impressive collection of pre-Columbian objects and safeguards the archaeological remains of the Valle de Xico. In response to the earthquake\, the museum has partnered with organizations in the region to deliver supplies directly to affected populations. To date\, they have sent out three brigades and with our support they are now establishing medical outposts to assist those with medical needs. \nCentro Cultural Bacaanda is a project founded by the Visual Artist Cristian Pineda Flores in May of 2006 in Juchitán of Saragossa\, Oaxaca. It is an artistic proposal that unites the efforts and ideas of artists in diverse disciplines to create dynamics of exchange\, formation\, contemporary artistic production and cultural diffusion in the state of Oaxaca\, especially in the region of the Isthmus. After the September 7 earthquake—which destroyed hundreds of houses in Juchitán—architects\, engineers\, people dedicated to the field of construction with experience\, organized to support those that lost their homes and everything there.

SUMMARY:Cocinando Justicia
DESCRIPTION:Direct from Puerto Rico\, Giovani Roberto\, an organizer with Centro de Apoyo Mutuo – CAM (Center of Mutual Support)\, Caguas\, will be discussing how its projects and others\, are creating alternative solutions to meet the basic sustenance needs of the Puerto Rican people after Hurricane Maria. Other speakers include Melissa Fuster\, Professor of Public Health Nutrition at Brooklyn College\, and Huascar Robles\, author/journalist/producer of Catatonia podcast. \n\nCentral Ethic \nThrough implementing CAM principles of “ayuda mutua y esfuerzo propio” (mutual help and self-effort) the process of creating a new\, regenerative Puerto Rico and allowing a return of the island’s vitality. CAM principles function in contrast to the legacy of colonial policies which continue to eliminate public services and infrastructure\, and compromise natural resources for the exclusive benefit of private interests. The ethic of ‘mutual help and self effort’ has proven effective in creating a viable\, alternative solution or the people of Puerto Rico\, as evidenced by the increasing interest of participants and volunteers received daily in service to the CAM. \nBackground & Growth \nCentro de Apoyo Mutuo ~ Caguas\, appeared 8 days after the passing of Hurricane Maria\, occupying abandoned space\, providing services such as meals\, material resources\, acupuncture and alternative therapies\, and workshops to the public while receiving support from local community volunteers\, and later from supporters outside the island. \nWeeks after the Centro de Apoyo Mutuo started in Caguas\, several groups and individuals across the island helped organize CAMs in their communities\, following the call for collective action to island activists and progressive groups\, resulting in 8 CAM’s throughout the main island\, including 1 on the island of Vieques. Currently there are 8 CAMs\, some with a peoples kitchen\, some with agro-ecological projects\, workshops\, alternative community educational projects\, and acupuncture and therapeutic spaces. \n\n**Giovanni Roberto is a Puerto Rican social justice activist and organizer for the Center for Political\, Educational and Cultural Development (CDPEC) based in Caguas\, Puerto Rico. Roberto is a former student leader of the 2010-2011 mobilizations and strikes at the University of Puerto Rico. \nMelissa Fuster is an assistant professor of Public Health Nutrition at the City University of New York Brooklyn College.

DESCRIPTION:Dome Building Workshop \nA project by: Matthew Mottel in collaboration with Loisaida Inc. \nSunday\, May 6 from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm (estimated time) \n\nOverview: \nThe history of dome building on the LES goes back to when CHARAS built domes in collaboration with Buckminster Fuller in 1972/73. Syeus Mottel documented this effort in his photo-journalism book CHARAS THE IMPROBABLE DOME BUILDERS \, first published in 1974 and now re published in 2017 by Song Cave Press & Pioneer Works. \nThrough a collaborative project between Loisaida Inc.\, La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez and DIAP (Digital Intermedia MFA program at City College)\, artist and researcher Matthew Mottel (Syeus Mottel’s son) will build 2 geodesic domes (one at La Plaza and the other at the Loisaida Inc. Center’ courtyard) as an interactive art installation. In interviewing Carlos “Chino” Garcia as part of his research\, Matthew was told that the domes CHARAS built functioned as both recreational activity spaces and as experimental examples of how to build disaster relief housing in non urban areas. The same functions apply now. The dome at La Plaza Cultura\, will be seen from the street\, with high visibility. This will bring people to the other dome in the courtyard and exhibition happening at Loisaida Center\, which will feature a more detailed documentation of the original events of 1972-73. \nThis work highlights the achievements of CHARAS and hopefully expands the pressure on the NYC mayoral office to follow through on their promise to re-acquire El Bohio for the Loisaida community. \nThe week of the exhibition opening\, many public performances\, talks and workshops will transpire in both the Loisaida Center dome\, and at La Plaza Cultural. These events will be influenced by the type of programming that happened during the 20+ years of events and exhibitions of El Bohio before being pushed out of its iconic and historic location on 9th Street\, formerly known as P.S. 64. \n\nResources: \nThe Improbable Dome Builders \nMatthew’s essay on the book. \nThe video that will be screened during the exhibition opening; CHARAS IS ALIVE ON SPACESHIP EARTH –  Wednesday\, May 9 at 6:00 pm \n \n\nSchedule\, Programming & Activities: \n\nSaturday\, May 5 at 6:00 pm – Archive exhibition of the 1972/73 CHARAS Geodesic Dome opens during Fiestas de Cruz at Loisaida Center.\nSunday\, May 6 at 2:00 pm – Dome Building Workshop where participants will assist in the building of a 12′ geodesic dome. There will also be a special screening of archival footage from Bucky Fuller. \nWednesday\, May 9 at 6:00 pm – Geodesic Domes unveiled with exhibition at Loisaida Center and La Plaza Cultural with performance by poet Edwin Torres.\nThursday\, May 10 at 12:00 pm – Exhibition hours at Loisaida Center.\nFriday\, May 11 at 6:00 pm – Exhibition hours at Loisaida Center + Oral history project of the Lower East Side  featuring interview with Chino Garcia by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation\, with documentary screening of Matthew Mottel’s video CHARAS IS ALIVE ON SPACESHIP EARTH at 6:00 pm.\nSaturday\, May 12 at 12:00 pm – Exhibition hours at Loisaida Center + performances in the afternoon thru evening at La plaza Cultural and Loisaida Center Courtyard.

SUMMARY:Lying Lydia - Open Reading
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. and Caborca Theatre present: \nLying Lydia\nOpen Reading \n\nNew work by the Loisaida Inc. Center’s 2014 artists in residence –CABORCA. \nWritten and directed by Javier Antonio González and featuring Laura Butler Rivera\, Yaremis Félix\, and Tania Molina\, Lying Lydia is a piercing look at our civilization’s targeting of women\, colonies\, and the truth. In the mold of Churchill and Fornes\, Lying Lydia is a mysterious and darkly funny chamber work featuring masterful performances from some of Caborca’s veteran actors\, as well as an original soundscape by Keenan Hurley. \n\nTruth may have died in the disaster. Two women are confined and forced to paint the landscape that may have once been. One of them is Margaret. The other is Lying Lydia\, so called because everything she says is a lie. How do you know? Listen\, you can hear her thinking. Like they said you would.\nLOISAIDA INC. CENTER\n710 E 9th Street\, Manhattan\nFree Admission\n7pm \n\nAbout Caborca: \nHailing from Puerto Rico\, US America and beyond\, Caborca makes sprawling\, adventurous works in theatre and film. Combining epic auteurship with a tuned ensemble of actors and a flux of collaborators\, we bridge language\, background and media\, inviting our audience\, guest artists and members alike\, to delve into the pleasure of seeing anew. \nCaborca steals its name from the novel The Savage Detectives\, by Roberto Bolaño\, in which a magazine of the same name is the official organ of visceral realism. \n\nOpinions like those expressed while in a panel\, event or presentation\, performance or through artwork are expressed by the author in his personal capacity and are the author’s own. They do not necessarily reflect the views of Loisaida Inc. its affiliates or staff.
