SUMMARY:Rompiendo Puertas - Break and Enter a.k.a. Squatters (Newsreel #62)
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. in collaboration with Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space and Third World Newsreel are proud to present: \nBreak and Enter a.k.a. Squatters (Newsreel #62)\n\nDuration: 40 min.\n\nDoors open at: 7:00 pm\n\nOVERVIEW:\nThis film captures the militant antecedents to today’s housing reclamation movement in New York City. In 1970\, several hundred Puerto Rican and Dominican families reclaimed housing left vacant by the city. They pulled the boards off the doors\, cleaned and repaired the buildings and moved in.Third World Newsreel’s historical Newsreel collection provides contemporary audiences with a vast archive of political documentary films chronicling the social movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s \n\nThanks to the generous contributions of the National Film Preservation Foundation\, BREAK AND ENTER has been preserved and is available for purchases and rentals.BREAK AND ENTER was preserved thanks to the generous support of the National Film Preservation Foundation. This film is available for public screenings.\n\nREVIEWS:\n“…the film is one of the first to represent working class Latinos-particularly Latinas-as active agents of change in new social movements… Break and Enter can be understood as part of the Puerto Rican cultural “renaissance” or innovative cultural formations that emerged in the city during the late 1960s and unsettled the distinctions between art and politics as well as imagined new ways of being in the city.” \n– Frances Negron-Muntaner\, Latino Arts and Activism Archive at Columbia University \n“This film emerges as one of Newsreel’s most powerful films.” \n– Cynthia A. Young\, Soul Power \n\n\n\n\nKICKING-OFF THE EVENING WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING AND PRESENTATION OF:\nVoces de Fillmore\nDuration: 19 min.\n\nAriana Allensworth\, Teresa Basilio & Regina Eaton\nProducer: Third World Newsreel Workshop\n2015\nUS\nEnglish and Spanish with English subtitles\n \n\nThis documentary traces the memories and experiences of families living on one block located in South Williamsburg\, a Brooklyn neighborhood that is affectionately known by long time residents as Southside or Los Sures. In the past decade\, Southside’ Latinx and working class population has steadily decreased from seventy to forty-five percent\, in part due to gentrification in New York City. In this film\, Puerto Rican families who have lived and raised children in Los Sures for several decades talk about their quest to preserve a sense of community in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. \nBios: \nTeresa Basilio Gaztambide is originally from San Juan\, Puerto Rico and has been living in Brooklyn for the past 20 years. Currently Teresa is the Deputy Director for New America’s Resilient Communities Program working with Hurricane Sandy impacted neighborhoods to co-design\, build and maintain weather-resistant and locally controlled wifi networks. Prior to joining New America\, Teresa was the Co-Executive Director of Global Action Project (G.A.P.)  a social justice youth media organization that works with youth most impacted by injustice to build the knowledge\, tools\, and relationships needed to create media for community power\, cultural expression and political change. Teresa is also a multidisciplinary artist and organizer. Her latest production Voces de Fillmore  is a documentary on the experiences of Puerto Rican families living in one block in the neighborhood of Los Sures in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn dealing with the impact of the gentrification and displacement of their working class community.  She recently co-organized the Detroit – Puerto Rico Solidarity Exchange which brought together a delegation of 80 Detroit and Puerto Rican organizers and cultural workers (from the island and diaspora)  committed to grassroots efforts rooted in self-determination to the Allied Media Conference. \nRose Muzio is Associate Professor of Politics at SUNY Old Westbury and author of Radical Imagination Radical Humanity: Puerto Rican Political Activism in NY. The book provides the first in-depth account of the origins and activism of El Comite-Movimiento de Izquierda Nacional Puertorriqueno\, one of the main organizations of the Puerto Rican Left in the 1970s. Operation Move-In is discussed at length in both the book and a previously published article in Centro\, Journal of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies.  \nCarmen Martell (who appears briefly in the film) has resided in the Upper West Side for over 60 years since coming to New York from Puerto Rico as a child. She was an organizer and participant in Operation Move-In\, the Secretary of Organization of El Comite for a decade\, and more recently one of the “35 women for Oscar” who helped gain Obama’s last-minute release of Oscar Lopez Rivera. Carmen worked for former Borough President Ruth Messinger and for many years was the Director of Human Resources of UniteHere Health Center.

SUMMARY:MAPPING FROM OUTSIDE TO THE INSIDE
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. and The Little Art Workshop present \nMAPPING FROM OUTSIDE TO THE INSIDE:\nThe program is based on the idea of parting from the largest “object” in our case the Universe\, as a starting point and from there begin to construct different visual maps using various artistic approaches. From the “largest” to the “smallest”\, from a map of the Universe to a map of our country\, city\, neighborhood\, house and ending by creating a map of our brain. Throughout these workshops we will use different artistic approaches to create our maps\, from using our own bodies as representations of “stars” to using more conventional materials such as paint\, glue and other crafts. Plus\, the children will create maps in both 2 and 3 dimensions. \nThe program is meant for children starting at 5 years going up to 12\, designed for groups up to 10 children per class. \n\nDAY 1 – Friday\, August 25th from 2:00-4:00pm\n\n\nActivity 1: CONSTELLATIONS/CONSTELACIONES (2:00pm-3:00pm)\n\n\nWe will observe images of constellations\, we will talk about what they are and what are their forms and significance. Observaremos  imágenes  de  las  constelaciones\, hablaremos  de  qué  son\,  y  cuales  son  sus formas  y  significados. Afterwards\, using their bodies\, the children will distributre across the floor and each one will become a star and their bodies will be traced on to paper and\, then each one will color and build their own constellations using glue\, paint\, glitter\, fabric and other crafts. \n\n\nActivity 2: WORLD MAP/MAPA-MUNDI (3:15pm-4:00pm)\n\n\nAfter observing a wooden Earth globe\, the children will paint their own globes. \n\nRegister today!

SUMMARY:Fantasy Island: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:For Shey Rivera Ríos and Huáscar Robles\, Hurricane María is an atmospheric manifestation compounded by the fiscal crisis troubling Puerto Rico’s urban landscape. The installation and performance Fantasy Island is an experience that explores how tourism and consumer culture sell a “fantastical” luxury lifestyle\, a tropical paradise twisting crisis into “opportunity”. A door opens into a real estate office selling dreams of luxury and reconstruction and the viewer delves into a dizzying spell of animated gifs\, performance and altars. \nFor Fantasy Island\, Rivera transformed Loisaida’s space into a real estate office surrounded by a black and white grid that envelops visitors while monitors flash GIFs that borrow aesthetics from the vaporwave movement. In one image\, a hand waves a wad of cash to a “Puerto Rico” neon sign while icons of the Virgin Mary and a ram\, both cultural symbols of Puerto Rico’s syncretism and colonial history\, spin in an enticing\, dizzying spell. Viewers are also inspired to reflect on how natural disasters such as the path of hurricanes affecting not only Puerto Rico but also our Caribbean neighbors maybe twisted into “opportunity” after the crisis subsides. \nFor the Loisaida Center\, a cultural enterprise with deep roots in the Nuyorican and Latinx New York community\, Fantasy Island stretches the island to New York and its Puerto Rican and Caribbean diaspora as it hits common issues they all grapple with. \nThe opening reception will include a special performance. \nThroughout the fall\, and beyond\, the Loisaida Inc. Center’s programming will provide opportunities to pledge support to the relief and recovery efforts in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:ART BUILD! LES Rises for Sandy 5 Year Action
DESCRIPTION:Details \nFive years after Sandy\, we remember the storm and how our neighbors came together to support one another. Given the hoard of recent hurricanes impacting the Caribbean and other parts of the United States\, we recognize the need to rise in solidarity for our siblings abroad\, while also continuing to prepare to get through future storms together. \nOn the 5th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy\, New Yorkers will march together to remember the lives lost and the damage incurred from Sandy. We will march to demand bold climate action from Mayor de Blasio\, Governor Cuomo\, and Senator Schumer. Our elected officials must protect New Yorkers from climate change and mitigate its impacts – especially on already overburdened communities. New Yorkers cannot wait any longer. We march for climate\, jobs\, and justice. \nWe are hosting an Art Build to organize our LES contingent as we will be marching from Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn to Smith Houses in the Lower East Side. We will be marching on Saturday\, October 28 and meeting at Cadman Plaza at 11am. \n\nFor more information\, please visit: \n** http://lesready.org/sandy5/ **

SUMMARY:Fantasy Island: Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Puerto Rico’s economic spiral has spread uncertainty on the island. A 120 billion debt in bonds and pension responsibilities has been deemed un-payable while a U.S. Fiscal Supervision Board suggests further austerity measures. About 170 schools have closed and a third of the island’s real estate is unoccupied. Puerto Ricans keep fleeing en masse while foreigners move in\, altering the urban and cultural landscape. \nArtists\, scholars\, activists\, and other thought leaders from various sectors are in conversation throughout the diaspora with the intention of creating awareness and dialogue that can generate solutions. How can art further push to inform socially responsible urban development and shed light on inequitable real estate practices that cause displacement and economic disparity? What about this cult to tourism and its implications on the field?   \nThis panel discussion will focus on the role of the arts in community development\, the economic crisis in Puerto Rico\, its implications and parallels with other cities/countries\, tourism economy\, real estate development\, and disaster capitalism.  \nSpeakers:  \nF.
