After the challenges faced and lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Loisaida Center is more committed than ever to providing high-quality programming aligned with the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and to bringing together older adults from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds.
To that end, we’ve expanded our Super-Adult program to include specific Health & Wellness services every 3rd Thursday of the month in collaboration with the Loisaida Wellness Collective and VNS Health.
Join us at La Sala de Pepe (73 Avenue C, New York, NY 10009) on Saturday, September 23rd, 2pm for the opening reception of photojournalist and writer Wanda Benvenutti's AMERICAN BORICUA, a modern visual history of Puerto Rican life cross North America.
This contemporary photography exhibit is based on the work showcased in Lower East Side Preservation Initiative's photo journal books, “East Village: Lens on the Lower East Side” and "LES: Lens on the Lower East Side.” These collections of beautiful photographs of the historic East Village/Lower East Side capture the spirit of today's residents, workers, and visitors against a backdrop of the area's rich and wonderful historic buildings, and show how the neighborhood's streets - capes are not only beautiful and irreplaceable, but also serve to enrich and enliven everyday modern life.
Uprooted explores the disconnect immigrants, migrants and the children of immigrants experience in the multitude of spaces and cultures they occupy. We’ve gathered multiple lens-based artists that have developed projects exploring their roots. Through their work, we are able to see the impact immigration has on people from varying backgrounds. We are able to see the different ways in which artists acknowledge and honor their ancestry.
