NORICUA: the living city

Monday Night poetry series
presented by Dorothy Friedman August and The Living Theatre
Monday Jan. 28 at 8PM

NORICUA: the living city
A performance of poetry, music, theater & non-ideas
by Edwin Torres & Spanic Attack

Come know the knot of NORICUA!

By fusing the indigenous word for the island of Puerto Rico BORICUA, onto the NO of
now, no-thingness and noise, multimedia guerillas Edwin Torres and Spanic Attack
have discovered the borderless territory of NORICUA. A state of mind, a perpetual
caravan, no-toriously irrelevant and nosey, a no-non sense take on identity
politicking and normative-ness.

Latino Art Now!

latino_art_now_0001.jpg

With massive movements of peoples, economies, communications and imaginations across the globe, many new questions arise about the meaning of art in the Americas. The conference Latino Art Now! seeks to understand the aesthetics of Latino art and how it is assessed and valued within a global context. The meaning of valuation entails multiple considerations, including shared community values, value in the museum world and value in the art market at large.

Conference Panels:

Latino Art from its Production to Consumption; The Dissemination, Publication and Archiving of Latino Art: Print and Media; The Origins and New Horizons of Migration, Diaspora and Exile; Intersections: US Latina/o Art and Artists and Latin American and US Contemporary Art; Cultural Brokers, Curators and New Venues; Markets: Collecting and Collections.
