SUMMARY:Post-Cuban Cabaret with Omar Pérez at the Loisaida Center
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\n\n\n\nCuban artist Omar Pérez\, visiting from Havana\, invites performers and community members to join him in the creation of the Post-Cuban Cabaret\, an intensive workshop culminating in an evening performance. Workshop participants will do theatre exercises\, explore themes in multiple forms (music\, poetry\, dance)\, and go through improvisational situations. Omar Pérez envisions the manifestation of different cultural traditions and some focus on themes related to “island” – sea\, water\, Cuba\, Latin and Caribbean culture\, clichés\, neighborhoods\, etc. In the evening\, the workshop participants perform material that has emerged during the day. All the arts and skills of the troupe members are integrated into the performance\, which continues to be based on improvisational principles. \nWorkshop: 9:30 am to 7:00 pm\nPerfomance: 8:00 pm  \nOmar Pérez: “The Cabaret was created in Havana more than 10 years ago by contemporary dancer and choreographer Sandra Ramy and myself in order to facilitate improvisation and interaction between “artists” of various kinds: dancers\, of course\, actors\, poets and musicians but also designers\, painters\, rappers\, amateurs…whoever was willing to go through the experience of an ad hoc workshop in order to build a one-night show\, a one timer”. \nBIO: The son of revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara\, poet\, editor\, and translator Omar Pérez was born and raised in Havana. He earned a degree in English at the University of Havana and studied Italian at the Universitá per Straniere di Siena. He has worked as a journalist for El Caimán Barbudo\, and as an editor for the magazine La naranja dulce. A former member of the Cuban intellectual group Paideia\, he edited the poetry magazine Mantisfrom 1994 to 1996. \nOrdained as a Zen Buddhist monk\, Pérez composes poems that engage languages\, Zen\, and political and cultural transcendence. His poetry collections include Lingua Franca (2010)\, Oíste hablar del gato de pelea?(1999\, translated as Did You Hear about the Fighting Cat? by Kristin Dykstra\, 2010)\, and Algo de lo Sagrado (1996\, translated as Something of the Sacred by Kristin Dykstra and Robert Tejada\, 2007). His translations include Italian-Cuban novelist Alba de Céspedes’s Nadie vuelve atrás(2003) and Shakespeare’s As You Like It (as Como Les Guste\, 2000). \nIntensely interested in the ways in which poetry overlays experience\, Perez noted in an interview with Jacket magazine that “the verse\, the poem\, even the rhyme\, the melody of poetry are the tip of the iceberg\, they are just one familiar aspect of a huge reality which we call consciousness […] Poetry is a natural function\, like god\, or DNA\, or rain. The fact that we can give notice of it does not mean that we make it.” \nHe received Cuba’s Nicolás Guillén Prize for Poetry for Crítica de la Razón Puta (2009) as well as its National Critics’ Prize for his essay collection La perseverancia de un hombre oscuro (2000). His work has also been featured in the anthology The Whole Island: Six Decades of Cuban Poetry\, A Bilingual Anthology (2009). He lives in Havana.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Counter Institution by Nandini Bagchee
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: Counter Institution by Nandini Bagchee\nWednesday\, November 28\, 6:30pm\nLoisaida Center\, 710 E 9th St \nCounterinstitution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side\, examines the open-ended histories of activism in the Lower East Side by looking at the spaces used by activists- storefronts\, gardens and offices to bring forth the hidden dimensions of these organizational spaces through a collaging together of architectural drawings techniques with archival research\, photography and writing. This book examines three re-purposed buildings on the Lower East Side that have been used by activists to launch actions over the past forty years. The Peace Pentagon was the headquarters of the anti-war movement\, El Bohio was a metaphoric “hut” that envisioned the Puerto Rican Community as a steward of the environment\, and ABC No Rio\, a name appropriated from a storefront sign with missing letters\, was a catchy punk name that appealed to the anarchistic sensibility of the artists that ran a storefront gallery in a run-down tenement. The “activist estates” explored in this book represents both a conceptual and a literal struggle to create a space for civic action in a city that is built upon real estate speculation. \nA book talk by author Nandini Bagchee will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Gregory Sholette. Nandini Bagchee is an Associate Professor of Architecture and History at City College New York and a Principal at Bagchee Architects. Greg Sholette is an artist\, activist and author of Delirium and Resistance: Art\, Activism & the Crisis of Capitalism (Pluto Press 2017) and Dark Matter: Art and Politics in an Age of Enterprise Culture (Pluto Press\, 2011). At this event we will also launch a call for participation for an exhibition planned at the Loisaida Center titled\, “Activist Estates: An Alternate History of Real Estate in Loisaida”. \nThis exhibition designed and curated by Nandini Bagchee in collaboration with Loisaida Center will be mounted in May 2019 to celebrate the history of space-based activism in the Lower East Side. Through timelines\, photographs\, artifacts\, film and architectural models- the exhibit will invite visitors to share their own stories and images to fill in the blanks or simply re-interpret the material within the show. Community workshops and envisioning sessions will open new discussions of the future of community-\ncontrolled space. \nCo-Sponsored by the Loisaida Center and GVSHP \nThis event is fully accessible. \n\n

SUMMARY:g e o d e s i c   l i n g u i x ; Charas as Infinite Thought Object
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Mottel & Edwin Torres\nEVENT DETAILS:TICKETSWednesday\, January 9\, 2019\, 8:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n \ng e o d e s i c   l i n g u i x ;\nCharas as Infinite Thought Object\nThe history of dome building on the Lower East Side goes back to when CHARAS built domes in collaboration with Buckminster Fuller in 1972/73. Syeus Mottel documented this effort in his photojournalism book CHARAS; THE IMPROBABLE DOME BUILDERS\, first published in 1973 and now re-published in 2018 by Song Cave Press & Pioneer Works. \nOn 1.9.19\, The Poetry Project\, will stage a performative action between artist\, and researcher Matthew Mottel and poet Edwin Torres. Torres has been an active member of the Loisaida community since the 90’s\, where he’s performed his ‘lingualisualist’ poetics\, rooted in sight and sound\, at many iconic venues. Mottel\, has been a member of the experimental arts community of New York City since the late 1990’s. \nIn interviewing Chino Garcia (co-founder of CHARAS)\, Matthew was told that one of the domes CHARAS built in the 1970’s was portable and used as sites for experimental performance. In this spirit\,Mottel and Torres will perform in and around a Geodesic Dome built inside the Poetry Project. \nMottel will screen a documentary video on the history of CHARAS’s dome building activity. And Torres will perform from his recent book\, “XOETEOX: THE INFINITE WORD OBJECT” (Wave Books) within a sonically & visually-charged geodesic environment. \nAs the finale of the evening\, the two will collaborate in and around the dome. This event will further expand the narrative of CHARAS’s original dome actions\, to pair with contemporary performance and poetics\, and to champion new forms with new content. This collaboration was facilitated by the Loisaida Center\, who introduced the artists and hosted Mottel’s exhibition ‘Charas is alive on Spaceship Earth’ in May – June 2018. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMATTHEW MOTTEL\n\n\nMatthew Mottel (born 1981\, New York\, NY) is an artist\, performer and writer. Matthew researches political and cultural histories to ameliorate the relationships between archival historical documents and their contemporary context. These investigations often are in the form of sculpture\, intermedia art installation and performance; creating unique environments for archival media to exist within. Matthew was an Artist In Residence At Issue Project Room in 2010 and an LMCC Swing Space Recipient in 2011.  He has presented work at the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Victoria & Albert Museum\, London; The Kitchen\, New York; Deitch Projects\, New York; All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival; London and Moers Music\, Germany. \nHe received in 2003\, a B.A at SUNY New Paltz\, his degree in Political & Cultural Studies. He presented his thesis exhibition towards an M.F.A. at City College’s Digital Intermedia Art Practice program in 2018 with graduation in 2019. \n\n\n\n\n\nEDWIN TORRES\n\n\nEdwin Torres is a NYC native whose books include\, XoeteoX: the infinite word object (Wave Books)\, Ameriscopia (University of Arizona Press)\, and The PoPedology of an Ambient Language (Atelos Books). Anthologies include: American Poets in the 21st Century: Poetics of Social Engagement\, Who Will Speak For America\, Angels of the Americlypse: New Latin@ Writing\, and Aloud; Voices From The Nuyorican Poets Café. Recent collaborations include; Sowndhauz-an electro-lingo duo with Matt Harle\, Poex-a collection of sound pieces created with Stephen Vitiello\, and Resurrection-a site-specific installation performance with Julie Carr. He is editor of the forthcoming anthology from Counterpath Press entitled\, The Body In Language: An Anthology.

SUMMARY:Pasado y Presente: Art After the Young Lords
DESCRIPTION:Pasado y Presente: Art After the Young Lords\nOn View at Nathan Cummings Foundation \n475 10th Ave.\, 14th Floor \nNew York\, NY 10018 \nMay 3rd – October 25th\, 2019.\nViewing is by appointment only. \nSecond site exhibition at Loisaida Inc. Center\, opening to the public June 3rd\, 2019 \n\n\nThe Loisaida Inc. Center in partnership with the Nathan Cummings Foundation\, are pleased to announce the opening of Pasado y Presente: Art After the Young Lords\, an exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Young Lords Organization in New York that will be on view at the Nathan Cummings Foundation offices through October 25\, 2019.  Active between 1969 and 1975\, The Young Lords described themselves as a revolutionary party fighting for the liberation of all oppressed people. Their spectacular demonstrations\, artful self-presentation\, and masterful deployment of DIY media via their newspaper\, Pa’lante\, brought international attention to demands voiced in black and brown communities across the United States for cultural equity\, equal rights for women and the LGBTQ population; communal control of housing\, healthcare\, education\, sanitation; alternatives to methadone; and independence for Puerto Rico and other subjugated nations. \nSpanning different generations\, nationalities\, and ethnicities\, the artists displayed in Pasado y Presente represent a creative community that is connected to the Young Lords by their passion for art in the service of social justice and vanguard aesthetics. The work displayed here  illuminates the influence that the Lords have had on activists and artists far beyond their six years as a formal organization.  Featured in this exhibit are documentary photographs of Young Lords activism by Máximo Colón and Luis Carle and vintage posters from Taller Boricua\, an East Harlem  print collective that was allied with the Young Lords. Additional artists on display include: AgitArte\, Pepe Coronado\, Sophia Dawson\, Marcos Dimas\, Hatuey Ramos Fermín\, Miguel Luciano\, Carlos Jesús Martínez Domínguez\, Shellyne Rodríguez\, Adrián Viajero Román\, Juan Sánchez\, Nitza Tufiño\, Rafael Tufiño\, and Valor y Cambio. \nThe Loisaida Center will also be the first host-site of the VyC (“Valor y Cambio”) machine\, an ATM-style device\, which will travel to various locations distributing bills and\, in return\, gather stories on video about what people value. \nPasado y Presente will be accompanied by a booklet and a related exhibition at the Loisaida Center by AgitArte\, Coronado Print Studio\, Sherezade García\, and Valor y Cambio that explores migration\, movement\, intra-diasporic Caribbean identity in NYC\, alternative economies\, story-telling and decolonial narratives. On Sunday\, May 26\, several participating artists in Pasado y Presente will take part in interactive urban interventions during the 32nd Annual Loisaida Festival. \nAdditionally\, Nathan Cummings and the Loisaida Center will host a series of public programs investigating topics such as history and influence of the Young Lords in New York\, feminist and LBGTQ activism in Latinx communities\, cultural production and organizing in Puerto Rico post-Maria\, the intersection of environmental justice with anti-displacement efforts in NYC’s poor and working class neighborhoods. Updates and dates of programming will be posted on the Nathan Cummings and Loisaida Center websites. \n\nTo set up an appointment to visit the exhibit\, contact exhibits@nathancummings.org \nThe related exhibition at the Loisaida Center will be on view starting June 3rd\, Mondays through Thursdays from noon to 4pm\, and by appointment. Contact info@loisaida.org for scheduling. \n\nRelated Programming: \nThe Liquid Highway\nSunday\, May 26th\, 2019 at Loisaida Inc. Center’s Courtyard (710 East Ninth Street near Avenue C) from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. \nDeveloped in collaboration with No Longer Empty and taking place during the Loisaida Festival\, The Liquid Highway is a participatory printmaking workshop that celebrates movement and migration. Artist\, Scherezade Garcia\, will be on site leading an interactive installation of marine landscapes on inner tube material presented as scrolls. This urban intervention and printmaking workshop honors our shared collective history and the commitments we have to one another. Through the act of printmaking\, the public will have the opportunity to print a section of the landscape and own their own piece of this complex history. \nValor Y Cambio – NYC Launch\nSunday\, May 26th\, 2019 at Loisaida Festival STEM Zone (between 6th and 7th Streets on Avenue C) from 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm. \nValor y Cambio (#valorycambio) is a story-telling\, community-building\, and solidarity economy project started by the artists Frances Negrón-Muntaner and Sarabel Santos Negrón. It raises the question of what Puerto Ricans value as a society and introduces a community currency—pesos of Puerto Rico—as a means of change\, in the sense of both money and social transformation. \nAfter its successful February 2019 launch in Puerto Rico\, the community currency interactive project will make its NYC debut during the Loisaida Festival\, as part of the Eco- STEAM zone. \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.

SUMMARY:The Infinite Flash of Memory: A conversation on Jardín de Pulpos (Octopus’s Garden)
DESCRIPTION:The Infinite Flash of Memory: A conversation on Jardín de Pulpos (Octopus’s Garden)\nDate: Monday\, July 15th\, 2019 \nTime: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nLocation: Loisaida Inc. Center\, 710 East 9th Street\, New York\, NY 10009 \nFREE to the public. Limited seating. RSVP at caborca.tickets@gmail.com \n\nAbout: \nThis evening features a discussion about Latin American resistance movements and protest-theatre art originated in the 20th century; about the collaborative creative process\, dramaturgy\, acting\, staging\, and translating Jardín de pulpos for the 21st century Anglophone US audience.  \n“The other time when we did the workshop [with actors]\, I told them that the public also writes as they are watching. You\, [as playwright]\, write something that you think actors and actresses are acting on. The actors and actresses are acting something that they think the audience will understand and the audience understands something they need\, but it is not necessarily what the author says\, nor what the actors and actresses say. It is a great disagreement. What happens is that there is a disposition or willingness to believe.” \n– from Juegos interiores: an interview with Arístides Vargas. \n\n \nPresented by Caborca and Loisaida Inc.\, in partnership with The Graduate Program in Translation at the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras\, and UArte – Universidad de las Artes in Guayaquil\, Ecuador.

Mellon Foundation and administered by Theatre Communications Group\, the national organization for the professional not-for-profit American theatre \nThis symposium is being presented alongside Caborca’s visionary new production of Octopus’s Garden in its first English language version. Translated by Aurora Lauzardo. Directed by Javier Antonio González. Octopus’s Garden runs at Target Margin Theater from July 12-21. For tickets to our performances visit https://octopusgarden.brownpapertickets.com \nA man enlists the town madwoman to help him recover his memory at the seashore.

In November 1970\, Lincoln Hospital was taken over through the collective organizing of local heroin addicts\, revolutionary health organizations\, the Young Lords\, members of the Black Panther Party as well as other organizations. Through political education\, the clinic examined the role of global politics in the influx of heroin into urban centers as well as the economic incentives of the established protocols for drug treatment. With the introduction of acupuncture as an aid in detoxification\, eventually replacing pharmaceutical treatments\, it was not only the walls of the hospital that were breached but the very apparatus of addiction and recovery. “The People’s Detox” is a contemplative look at how the history of a revolutionary drug clinic reverberates through to contemporary notions of health and care. The film was directed by Jenna Bliss.\n \n\nWith support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation and part of the public events of Pasado Y Presente: Art after the Young Lords 1969-2019 produced by Loisaida Center. This event is in partnership with Pregones Theater\, Nos Quedamos\, South Bronx Unite\, Mott Haven Community Land Stewards\, and Taller Experimental de Arte.

SUMMARY:Activist Estates: Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Architect Nandini Bagchee in conversation with Sociologist Miranda Martinez at the Loisaida Center.\nGallery Talk: Activist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida \n710 E 9th Street | NY\, NY 10009 \nSaturday\, October 12th\, 2019 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM (EDT) \nNandini Bagchee is the designer and curator of the exhibit and author of Counter Institution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side (Fordham University Press\, 2018). \nMiranda Martinez is the author of Power at the Roots: Community Gardens\, Gentrification\, and the Puerto Ricans of the Lower East Side (Lexington Books\, 2010). \n\nOverview: \nActivist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida is an exhibition curated and installed by the Architect/ Historian Nandini Bagchee in partnership with Loisaida Center Inc. The exhibit visualizes the narratives of a historic space-based activism via maps\, models\, photographs\, pamphlets and posters. The Loisaida Center has been instrumental in bringing visibility to the many histories of the Latinx resistance in New York. This new exhibition illuminates yet another facet of this history by juxtaposing the parallel trajectories of different social movements. The issue-based timelines construct a network of solidarity between individuals and institutions in the Lower East Side. \nAn examination of participatory practices in New York City reveals the critical relationship between real estate\, architecture and activism. In cities across the country\, in the 1970’s\, the devaluation of property created a vacuum of ownership. Vacant lots\, storefronts\, schoolhouses\, factories and abandoned tenements in New York City became havens for experimental\, communal practices. These same urban landscapes\, in the present time\, face the opposite crisis of inflated costs and high-profit development. Escalating speculation threatens the small gains made by communities in historically marginalized neighborhoods. Amid current debates about urban justice and access to the city\, Activist Estates critically re-evaluates the place of counter-institutional practices that shape the landscape of New York City. \nAbout: \nNandini Bagchee is an Associate Professor at the Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY (CUNY) and principal of Bagchee Architects. Her research focuses on activism in architecture and the ways in which ground-up collaborative building practices provide an alternative medium for the creation of public space. Nandini is the author of a recently published book on the history of activist-run spaces in New York City entitled\, Counter Institution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side (Fordham University Press\, 2018). Her built-work and writing has been published in the New York Times\, Interiors Now\, Urban Omnibus and the Journal of Architectural Education. She is the recipient of grants from the Graham Foundation\, New York State Council of the Arts and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Her research-based design work involves an ongoing engagement with politically active organizations such as the South Bronx Unite\, Sites of Conscience\, Interference Archive\, Cooperation Jackson and the Loisaida Center. \n\nActivist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement\, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC. LMCC serves\, connects and makes space for artists and community.

DESCRIPTION:Lunchtime Lecture with Architect Nandini Bagchee at Cooper Union.\nActivist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida \n@ Cooper Union\, 7 East 7th Street\, between Third and Fourth Avenues\nTuesday\, October 15th\, 2019 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (EDT) \nNandini Bagchee is the designer and curator of the exhibit and author of Counter Institution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side (Fordham University Press\, 2018). \n\nOverview: \nActivist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida is an exhibition curated and installed by the Architect/ Historian Nandini Bagchee in partnership with Loisaida Center Inc. The exhibit visualizes the narratives of a historic space-based activism via maps\, models\, photographs\, pamphlets and posters. The Loisaida Center has been instrumental in bringing visibility to the many histories of the Latinx resistance in New York. This new exhibition illuminates yet another facet of this history by juxtaposing the parallel trajectories of different social movements. The issue-based timelines construct a network of solidarity between individuals and institutions in the Lower East Side. \nAn examination of participatory practices in New York City reveals the critical relationship between real estate\, architecture and activism. In cities across the country\, in the 1970’s\, the devaluation of property created a vacuum of ownership. Vacant lots\, storefronts\, schoolhouses\, factories and abandoned tenements in New York City became havens for experimental\, communal practices. These same urban landscapes\, in the present time\, face the opposite crisis of inflated costs and high-profit development. Escalating speculation threatens the small gains made by communities in historically marginalized neighborhoods. Amid current debates about urban justice and access to the city\, Activist Estates critically re-evaluates the place of counter-institutional practices that shape the landscape of New York City. \nAbout: \nNandini Bagchee is an Associate Professor at the Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY (CUNY) and principal of Bagchee Architects. Her research focuses on activism in architecture and the ways in which ground-up collaborative building practices provide an alternative medium for the creation of public space. Nandini is the author of a recently published book on the history of activist-run spaces in New York City entitled\, Counter Institution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side (Fordham University Press\, 2018). Her built-work and writing has been published in the New York Times\, Interiors Now\, Urban Omnibus and the Journal of Architectural Education. She is the recipient of grants from the Graham Foundation\, New York State Council of the Arts and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Her research-based design work involves an ongoing engagement with politically active organizations such as the South Bronx Unite\, Sites of Conscience\, Interference Archive\, Cooperation Jackson and the Loisaida Center. \n\nActivist Estates: A Radical History of Property in Loisaida is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement\, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC. LMCC serves\, connects and makes space for artists and community.

SUMMARY:De Aquí y de Allá
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nEvent 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. \nDescription:\nThe 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. \n\nPresented as part of the Loisaida Inc. Center AIR Program. Discussion lead by resident artist; Jocelyn Bonadio-de Freitas. \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.

SUMMARY:Las Caras Lindas
DESCRIPTION:Las Caras Lindas\nA Journey through Nuyorican and Puerto Rican Salsa Album Art of the Last Century \nCo-curated by: Pablo Yglesias & José “Pepe” Flores \nDate: February 23 through March 15\, 2024 \nLocation: Centro de Estudiantes\, University of Puerto Rico – Rio Piedras Campus (Puerto Rico) \nLas Caras Lindas explores the visual and social impact of Latin music album covers during the period when the vinyl LP was a dominant format of entertainment\, paying critical attention to issues of identity\, sense of place\, African roots\, faith\, rhythm\, dance\, and the body\, as well as graphic aesthetics\, through representations of Hispanic people and cultures as they are presented to the consumer\, with an emphasis on Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York. \nThemes of oppression and resistance\, suffering and pleasure\, erasure and pride\, and utilizing creativity to fight against colonization\, marginalization\, and poverty are opposites held in tension and constant flux in these humble squares. The sequence of covers is meant to trace a process of constant ebb and flow of evolution over five decades during the second half of the twentieth century. \nThe title of the show comes from a song of the same name\, composed by Catalino “Tite” Curet Alonso\, and recorded by Ismael Rivera Y Sus Cachimbos for the album “Esto Es Lo Mío” (This Is Mine). Inspired by exhibition co-curator Pablo Yglesias’s book Cocinando: 50 Years of Latin Album Cover Art\, this installation weaves a narrative through the display of album art\, proposing that the record cover is not just an invitation to dance\, sing\, dine\, and love\, but is also an art piece worthy of serious cultural consideration. The premise is that album art is not just mass-produced ephemera that should be relegated to the dustbin of a bygone era but rather a unique 12 x 12-inch window into the soul of a culture. \nThis collaboration is made possible by the generous support of the Mellon Foundation\, Tiznando el País\, and the Instituto Interdisciplinario y Multicultural (INIM) at the University of Puerto Rico\,
