Loisaida is proud to bring our ongoing summer program Garbagia, highlighting and revitalizing the migrant experience, our neighborhood’s historical inventiveness, and ecological resilience. Inspired by local artist and activist, Rolando Politi, whose iconic repurposed and recycled sculptures pepper community gardens throughout Loisaida, the program uses place-based pedagogy and recycled materials to equip youth and residents in using creative strategies to address the city’s urgent issues.
An examination of participatory practices in New York City reveals the critical relationship between real estate, architecture and activism.
As part of Open Arts LES, Loisaida Inc. Center presents our Artist in Residence Open Studio and our current exhibition's Gallery Talk and Guided Tour!
