SUMMARY:American Boricua Artist Talk with Omar Eaton-Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Center welcomes you to a special Artist Talk with Wanda Benvenutti\, photojournalist of the current photography exhibition\, American Boricua\, and Omar Eaton-Martinez. In celebration of Black History Month\, this conversation centers on Afro-Puerto Rican voices\, lived experience\, and the power of curating the everyday to challenge erasure and rewrite the narrative. \n Black History is Puerto Rican History. From confronting anti-Blackness within our own communities to imagining a just cultural future\, this dialogue honors the past while shaping what comes next. \nOmar Eaton-Martinez is the Senior Vice President for Historic Sites at the National Trust for Historic Preservation and will join Wanda to discuss culture and the importance of accuracy and nuance in the experience of shared physical spaces. As American Boricua celebrates the Puerto Rican Diaspora throughout North America through a photojournalistic lens\, Eaton-Martinez leads the preservation\, interpretation\, and overall stewardship of 28 historical sites across the country to tell the full American story. \nThis is an invitation to listen deeply\, ask hard questions\, and collectively build a more truthful and expansive understanding of who we are. Wanda Benvenutti ✕ Omar Eaton-Martinez in conversation at the Loisaida Center. This intimate gallery talk takes the form of a mutual interview\, where Wanda and Omar speak with—and challenge—each other around the idea of “curating the everyday” as a way to disrupt the master narrative of Puerto Rican identity. \n Monday\, February 16\, 2026 (Presidents Day Weekend) \n Loisaida Center Theater (limited seating) \n 5:00 PM Doors & exhibition viewing \n 6:00 PM Conversation begins \n Topics include: \n• Puerto Rican identity beyond stereotype \n• Afro-Latinidad and internal anti-Blackness \n• Building a positive cultural future for the next 50–200 years \n Introduced by: Pepe Flores\, Loisaida community elder\, co-founder of @lasaladepepe \n Recorded live (YouTube + podcast format) #LoisaidaTV \n Extended Q&A with artists\, cultural workers\, and the public.

SUMMARY:HABITAR LAS FÁBULAS (PERFORMANCE)
DESCRIPTION:HABITAR LAS FÁBULAS\n\n\n\n\nDescription:\nHabitar las Fábulas is a series of dance performances inspired by the visual art series Fábulas by Uruguayan artist Fernanda Piñeirua. Through movement\, we share women’s stories—of patriarchy\, migration\, ancestry\, community\, struggle\, union\, self-love\, and death.\n\n\nThis project is both dialogue and tribute: a collective recomposition of Latin American women’s experiences. From image to gesture\, the performances draw symbolic foundations from the Orixas dances of Brazilian Candomblé\, the rhythms of Uruguayan candombe\, the steps of Argentinian chacarera\, and the language of Afro-Latin contemporary dance. \nEach body becomes a question\, a vessel for memory and resistance\, a way of telling what words alone cannot hold. These dances invite the audience into empathy\, trusting that the stories of South American women will resonate and echo in their own personal narratives\, weaving a sense of shared community. \n\n\nAbout Simbólica Cia. de Danza: \nSimbólica is a Sudaka Latinafrocontemporary dance company that creates from the symbolic intersections of movement and knowledge. We dance to question what we believe\, feel\, and think—transforming body and emotion into tools for inquiry where the mind alone cannot reach. Our practice is rooted in regenerating\, strengthening\, and empowering both personal and collective identity. \nMaría Noel Costa (Uruguay) is a dancer\, choreographer\, and teacher with training in jazz\, modern\, African\, and contemporary dance. A three-time recipient of the Regional Fund for Culture\, her works include I Have Something to Say and Morder. \nPaula Sarmiento Ansorena (Argentina/Uruguay) is a dancer\, researcher\, and director whose creations blend traditional and contemporary Afro-Latin American dances. She has trained in Brazil\, Guinea\, Mexico\, and New York\, and is the director of Simbólica Cia. de Danza and member of Yiribas Cia. \nGuest Artist: Mobéy Lola Irizarry (Puerto Rican diaspora/Chickasaw Nation) is a genderqueer cultural worker and multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sound\, image\, and performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Loisaida\, Inc.-710 E 9th St\, New York\, 10009\n\n\n\n\nPraxis & Lab: 3:00 PM (Register here)\n\nPerformance: 7:00 PM (Register here)

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.

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.
