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:Ecolibrium Community Meeting: Solar and Batteries in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Ecolibrium Community Meeting: Solar and Batteries in Public Spaces\nDate: April 24\, 2025\n⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nLocation: Loisaida Center\, 710 East 9th St\, NYC 10009\nJoin us for the next Ecolibrium Community Meeting\, where we’ll explore the role of solar energy and battery storage in public spaces and their integration into a community-scale Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This initiative connects solar and battery installations in public parks\, community centers\, and shared spaces with residential and commercial buildings\, creating a more resilient\, efficient\, and sustainable urban energy network. \nAt our last meeting\, we introduced the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept\, showcasing how distributed energy resources (DERs) can work together to support a decentralized\, clean energy grid. 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.
