SUMMARY:What is a Virtual Power Plant? 2025 Ecolibrium Presentation & Meeting at Loisaida Center
DESCRIPTION:Join our Ecolibrium team at the Loisaida Center on (February 25\, 6 to 8 pm) for a presentation and visioning meeting that explores the transformation of our energy system from the old centralized static fossil-fueled electric grid\, to a responsive and participatory all-electric one serviced by distributed renewable energy resources (DER) and batteries. \nWe will present the concept of a community-scale “Virtual Power Plant” where solar and battery systems installed on buildings and in public spaces are coordinated and synchronized to behave as a single larger system. We will learn about “grid-interactive buildings”\, electric vehicle-to-building-to-grid charging\, community microgrids\, demand reduction and response\, and how these systems benefit residents\, building owners\, create jobs\, reduce building emissions\, relieve stress on the electric grid\, and provide resilient power to buildings during grid outages. \nThis program is made possible through the generous support from Con Edison\, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (Ladders for Leaders)\, CUNY Career Corps\, NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation\, U.S. Department of Education/Congressional Community Project Funding. \nImage design by: Grace Ballo \n  \nRSVP Link \n\nSponsors and Partners:

SUMMARY:Angie Hernandez Gifts of the Magi at the Loisaida Center
DESCRIPTION:Location: Loisaida Center – 710 East 9th Street\, New York\, NY 10009\nDate: January\, 6th\, 2025\nDescription: Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6 throughout the Spanish-speaking world to mark the birth of Jesus and the gifts brought to the child by the Magi after following the star of Bethlehem\, which guided them through their journey. This tradition continues\, especially in the Loisaida community of Manhattan\, by the Puerto Rican families. In 2000\, with the support and encouragement of Carlos “Chino” Garcia and CHARAS\, María de los Angeles “Angie” Hernández Osorio\, an indefatigable advocate for Boricua culture\, education\, and the arts\, presented her first production of “The Gifts of the Magi.” The play was originally a longer theatrical piece showcased at the Henry Street Playhouse\, titled; “Peace/La Paz\,” co-written with Nuyorican poet Tato Laviera in the late ’80s. It has taken on various forms since its inception and evolved to a shorter\, more musical version\, produced and directed by Angie’s son\, musician\, and current board member of CHARAS\, David “Daso” Soto\, and presented at the Loisaida Center. \nThis year’s version of Angie Hernandez’ Gifts of the Magi will be presented exclusively to local children at the Loisaida Center on January 6\, 2025\, to celebrate the power of love\, family\, hope\, and the joy of childhood. \nCast: \n3 Kings: Kiki Cotto\, Marc Reign\, David Hernandez \nAstronomer: Ivan Calcano\n\nHerod: David DāSo Soto \nMary: Caridad De La Luz\nJoseph: Eric Diaz\n3 Dancers CAMELS / VEJIGANTES: Casidy\, Skylar & Sasha\n\nYoung Jesus: Pending\nGrown Jesus: Pending\n\n\n(*To be updated.)

SUMMARY:Street Life (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:Street Life\nQueer Activism\, Performance\, and Joy \nThe Photography of Luis Carle\nIn this exhibition\, the noted New York Puerto Rican photographer Luis Carle honors the street—the work of protest\, resistance\, remembrance\, critical gender performance\, and celebration with which queer subjects have infused public spaces\, transforming them. Inspired by the Nuyorican street activist Sylvia Rivera\, who advocated for radical\, gender non-conforming\, intersectional queer communities; Cristina Hayworth\, founder of Puerto Rico’s LGBTQ Pride March; the gender performance artist Oswaldo Gómez\, Ms. Colombia\, who converted city streets into his backstage dressing-room for “cosmically” reimagining everyday life; and Dirty Martini\, whose witty performances critique commercialization and gentrification at a time of imperiled queer civil rights; Carle invites the viewers to join the crowd\, march\, walk\, ride\, dance and put their bodies on the line. Moving from images of the legendary marches on Washington for LGBTQ civil rights\, the AIDS Memorial Quilt\, ACT-UP activism\, and the NYC Drag March to everyday street performances\, performance art\, and celebrations\, Carle’s photographs ask us to reflect on how protest\, performance\, memorialization\, and joy have historically built on each other in queer popular cultures. \nLuis Carle (b. 1962) is a New York-based Puerto Rican photographer living in New York City since the 1980s. He studied photography at Parsons School of Design. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)\, El Museo del Barrio\, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in San Juan\, and the Paul Robeson Gallery at Rutgers University in Newark. Carle was the founding director of O.P.Art\, the Organization of Puerto Rican Artists\, from 1992 to 2013. His work is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, El Museo del Barrio\, and The Museum of the City of New York.
