  • Post-Cuban Cabaret with Omar Pérez at the Loisaida Center

    The Loisaida Inc. Center 710 East 9th Street, New York, NY, United States

    Omar 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”.

  • Reflect to Revolutionize – Critical Thinking Seminar

    The Loisaida Inc. Center 710 East 9th Street, New York, NY, United States

    The Reflect to Revolutionize workshops are devoted to practicing critical thinking and meaningful self reflection as pathways to liberating transformation. These facilitated discussions will shine light on the ways that oppressive systems and legacies of colonialism and slavery affect our daily lives and choices. We will rethink and redefine our notions of self, purpose, power and community. Our goal is to provide an active space where we confront our own trauma and fear in order to rise stronger as a collective.
