Join us for an intimate gathering at The Clemente with author Nicole Cecilia Delgados for a reading to celebrate the launch of her most recent book "adjacent islands / islas adyacentes" on Wednesday, December 7th at 7PM.

Nicole will be accompanied by poet Urayoán Noel translator of the book to Spanish and by poets Mara Pastor and Edwin Torres.

Nicole Cecilia Delgado’s book art is intimate yet poised toward the radically communitarian, both in the people and histories evoked in its pages and in the collaborative and unabashedly political orientation of her editorial and publishing work.

The event is Organized by Ugly Duckling

About the Book

adjacent islands/islas adyacentes is a bilingual edition of her artist books amoná (2013) and subtropical dry (2016), both based on camping trips to islands in the Puerto Rican archipelago: the uninhabited Mona to the west of the main island and the municipality of Vieques to the east (Amoná and Bieké in the reconstructed indigenous Taíno language). Challenging the insularist logic that has historically defined Puerto Rican national imaginaries, on these adjacent islands, people and nature connect in unexpected ways, as Delgado documents the art of survival under military occupation, extractivism, and the surveillance state. Part of a larger corpus of what Delgado calls “camping books,” adjacent islands / islas adjacentes seeks to translate the intemperie (open sky) of the camping trip onto the confines of the page. Delgado follows the late Ulises Carrión in enacting a networked book art where “communication is still inter-subjective, but it occurs in a concrete, real, physical space—the page.” Call it book art as counterarchive.

About the Author

Nicole Cecilia Delgado is a poet, translator, and book artist. Her work has been translated into English, Catalan, Polish, German, Galician, and Portuguese. With the poet Amanda Hernández, she currently directs and develops La Impresora, a poetry press and risograph print shop dedicated to small-scale editorial work and allocating resources to support local independent publishing, and from which they also organize the Independent and Alternative Book Fair in Puerto Rico (FLIA PR).

About the Translator

Urayoán Noel is the author of eight books of poetry, most recently Buzzing Hemisphere / Rumor Hemisférico and Transversal, both with the University of Arizona Press. He received the LASA Latino Studies Section Book Prize and an MLA Honorable Mention for his study In Visible Movement: Nuyorican Poetry from the Sixties to Slam (University of Iowa Press). His translations include no budu please by Wingston González (Ugly Duckling Presse) and Architecture of Dispersed Life: Selected Poetry by Pablo de Rokha (Shearsman Books), which was a finalist for the National Translation Award. He also translated the concrete poems in Amanda Berenguer’s Materia Prima (UDP), which was a finalist for the Best Translated Book Award. Noel is an associate professor of English and Spanish and Portuguese at New York University and has also taught at SUNY Albany, CantoMundo, and Stetson University’s MFA of the Americas. Originally from Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, he lives in the Bronx.

The José Limón Dance Foundation is hosting a one day celebration with four events across New York City of Latinx choreographers, performers, and thought leaders to explore the issues and opportunities facing contemporary Latinx dance in America by examining the life and work of José Limón, other foundational figures in the art form, and the influence of these rich legacies on current and future practice in the field.

Fri. November 18th

Doors at 7:30pm

Join us for a night of live performances, dancing, healing, drinks, & love to raise funds and coats for NYC’s newly arrived asylum seekers.

The pioneering Latinx visual and performing artists, Yara Travieso & Guadalupe Maravilla, will co-host a major fundraiser as part of the annual BORIMIX Festival to support New York’s newly arrived asylum seekers at The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center this Friday, November 18th at 8pm. The cultural field is providing a response to the political and social crisis brought on by Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to bus asylum seekers from the border to New York City. A panoply of musicians and performers will offer their star-power to attract audiences and raise funds in solidarity with the asylum seekers. These include Venezuelan Grammy award winner DJ "Cheo" Pardo from Los Amigos Invisibles, the earth shattering voice of Carolina Oliveros of Combo Chimbita, the Caribbean powerhouse Xenia Rubinos, the Joropo queen Mafer Bandola of LADAMA, & the all-female salsa group Lulada Club, sponsored by the local Puerto Rican establishment, Que Chevere.

---100% of the proceeds will go directly to newly arrived asylum seekers. Guests can also bring coats to donate. The fundraiser tickets are $25 in order to meet our goal. For folks who cannot accommodate the $25 ticket, we have a discounted promo code available by emailing epaclemente@gmail.com and for those folks we also encourage them to bring gently worn coats for the coat drive.We hope to see you there! 

The event is sponsored in part by The Community Spirit Company, Que Chevere, and Cerveza Polar.

See You in Florida: A Vene-Rican Odyssey

Curators: Roberto Weil and Miguel Trelles

Gallery: LES & Abrazo Galleries at The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center

"NEW YORK: See you in Florida, a Vene-Rican Odyssey” invites visual artists to explore, through caricature, illustration, drawing or painting, the causes, vicissitudes, challenges and triumphs of the Puerto Rican and Venezuelan diasporas. Puerto Rican and Venezuelan diasporas in terms of their exodus from Venezuela, Puerto Rico and New York to Florida. At a time when even North Americans themselves do not cease to succumb to the tropical charm of “Sagüesera Mayamera", the Borimix 2022 art show wants to highlight how Venezuelans and Boricans have visibly increased their presence in multiple cities throughout the state of Florida. While many come to Miami directly from the towns and cities of Puerto Rico and Venezuela, others who had already settled in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, are leaving in increasing numbers for Kissimmee Florida, Jacksonville and other cities. It is clear that the current circumstances of departure, while sharing a certain urgency to LEAVE, reflect different discontents,

In the case of the Venezuelans, the discontent stems in large part from the erosion of the social order in Venezuela in favor of a political-military monopoly that is unable to disguise the prevailing and crushing precariousness in a Latin American country that, until not so long ago, had been prosperous and influential in Latin America and the rest of the world.

As for Puerto Ricans, the grief stems from Puerto Rico's increasing wear and tear due to economic bankruptcy, natural disasters, and distrust of honesty in distrust in the honesty of government officials. In this scheme of things, New York, as a traditional point of arrival for Puerto Ricans and a coveted location for many Venezuelans, comes to the forefront. Venezuelans, has come to play the role of a "third" point of departure that has also lost its luster. Whether it is because of COVID, the rising cost of living and/or anxiety about the risks of taking the subway, many Puerto Ricans and Venezuelans from New York are also heading to Florida... the new mecca. Every concept is provoked by a form, and what better medium than caricature, accompanied by illustration, drawing and painting to reflect the mercurial eagerness to reach "El dorado" of "La Sagüesera". In these times post COVID, when an odyssey of challenges looms over everyone and, in this case, over the Venezuelans and Puerto Ricans -already Puerto Ricans -either in the country of origin or in these Niuyores-, what better than a little humor... to face the challenges... to face the challenges, to face the challenges.

Join us October 15 at 5:30PM for a guided tour led by the curator and artist Catalina Tuca and Josh Araujo of the exhibition in our LES Gallery "Temporary solutions that stay forever".

The exhibition ensembles the work of three artists from Latin American descent, living in the NYC area. Through different approaches and media -such as sculpture, video, and performance- they embrace the notions of precarity, vulnerability, and uncertainty.

Precarity is one of the words that characterizes Latin America; thin threads sustaining a whole political, social, cultural body, which is about to break, yet it never does. In a reverse reaction, it survives under its own rules and subtle dynamics usually based on creativity and endurance. Living under these conditions creates specific ways of navigating the waters of economic survival. Here, being an artist is a privilege: sometimes painful, sometimes heroic.

Spontaneity, vulnerability, fragility, uncertainty, together with the unsolved, and the temporary solutions that finally stay forever, are situations to face under the precarious system. Today these conditions are visibly a global reality rather than a characteristic of the global South. Climate change, a lingering pandemic, and a worldwide never-ending migration crisis are events that we all share and prove once more that the sense of control and certainty that we seek is a fantasy.

However, Temporary solutions that stay forever aims to show how these conditions can be a possibility, a potential, a creative force, that gives space to unique and unexpected ways to live, create, and maybe continue being an artist.

The Lower East Side has the longest, most diverse, and richest puppet history in New York City; a place where the traditions of manifold cultures mix with each other, and then are spread beyond our city’s boundaries. 

A true mirror of this rich history of rods, hands, strings, and shadows, The Clemente has been an epicenter of puppetry and diasporic arts in the neighborhood since our founders' collaborations with alumni from Bread and Puppet. Today we have the honor of anchoring perhaps the only bilingual (Spanish-English) puppetry company in the north-east, Teatro SEA.

The L.E.S, baptized as Loisaida, is also a core enclave for the Puerto Rican /Caribbean/ Latinx diasporas that have given Lower Manhattan its vibrancy and historical achievements in environmental, housing, public space access, and cultural visibility struggles. Our community is eager to welcome Little Amal in a celebration of our neighborhood’s Afro-Caribbean heritage and Latinx im/migrant contributions to NYC.

(In)Tangible World: Posdigital Corporeality is the first exhibition curated in the USA by Lava Art  Project, a platform run by Spanish, UK-based curators Belinda Martín and Paula Ramos Mollá. It brings  together recent and new iterations of works by eight Spanish-based artists, many of whom share a  Latino background and whose practice is embedded in what the curators call the ‘digital corporeality’  turn in the visual arts. These works place the human body, in all its fullest materiality, amidst the digital  and material culture we live in and investigate affective responses of today’s society to such hybrid  artworks. 

The exhibition revolves, first and foremost, around strategies of engagement. It taps into notions of  materiality and digitality to shed light into the relationship between the body and different sorts of virtual  environments. It interrogates how we see our bodies (specifically hybrid, mestizo, queer and working class bodies) in the posdigital world, at the intersection between the material and the digital. Here the  concepts of race, class and sexuality are explored through digital techniques employed as means of  representation and as metaphors for speaking about bodies that are stuck in corporeal limbos. 

Each artist is interested in exploring the corporeal through a digital approach. As such, their work is  materialised in a myriad of ways, from performative installation (Nora Silva), immersive video pieces (Giulia  Jiménez) and moving image installations (Yosi Negrín) to audiovisual sculptural pieces (Alv_Adina, Alicia  Arévalo and Pau Jiménez), interactive video games (Jesu Moratiel) and site-specific installations (Andrea  Muniáin). By bringing together both material and phenomenological approaches to the experience of  art, this project aims to integrate both digital and analogic modes of aesthetic experience. The idea is  to make visitors regain the experience of understanding their own being and body through new forms  of subjective representation. 

The location of bodies in a digital space that confronts its physical belonging engages with the concept  of the hybrid. Just like the mestizo, the hybrid nature of this digital and analogical body of work responds  to its position in a sphere that is always in-between. That is, the mestizo resembles the post-digital in that  they acquire an ambiguous form defined by their own liminality: as a quasi-digital body or a body with  two passports amid what it means to be a fully realised citizen. An arguably non-fully realised entity that  dialogues with other ways of body marginalisation, including class and sexuality, which these artworks  aim to bring forth. 

The eight participating artists explore the concept of hybridity by using digital and physical media,  which they use to deconstruct their own mixed identities: from working class bodies who have reach  the status of a ‘creative class’ and racialized migrants fighting to obtain residency permits to queer  identities demanding recognition in a predominantly cis male dominant gay and straight world. The  body as a subject matter that justifies discrimination because of its physical features is here put into  question and contested. By getting to know our flesh through other (digital) lenses, this show proposes  that hybridity is a quality of our current bodies, one that is present in every subject and that we must  not fear, but embrace.
