Artist Panel: Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art
Celebrating the release of Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art: A Critical Anthology, The Latinx Project hosts a special artist panel on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 20 Cooper Square featuring artists Candida Alvarez, David Antonio Cruz and Maria Dominguez with moderator Adriana Zavala. Book editors Yasmin Ramirez and Arlene Dávila will offer an introduction.
La niña y la ballena (The Girl and the Whale)
La niña y la ballena (Neska eta Balea / The Girl and the Whale) is a visually stunning, deeply moving theatrical experience that resonates across generations. A lone whale returns to the harbor of Getaria on Spain’s Basque coast, carrying the ancestral memory of her species’ persecution and the echoes of a vanishing world beneath the waves. When twelve-year-old Itxaso—a girl with hearing loss who perceives the delicate balance between sound and silence—crosses paths with Jokin, a local journalist investigating the whale’s mysterious arrival, an unexpected journey unfolds.
Together, they uncover a haunting truth: the ocean’s soundscape is under siege. Modern noise pollution, invisible to most, is a deadly assault on marine life. But Itxaso listens—really listens—and with the help of hydrophones, she and Jokin discover an ancient message hidden in whale song. One that has waited centuries to be heard.
Interweaving Basque maritime history, environmental urgency, and the magical bond between a child and a whale, this lyrical and heart-filled play asks: If the ocean remembers everything we’ve done, will we have the courage to listen—and the wisdom to change?
With breathtaking projections, emotive puppetry, and a story full of heart, La niña y la ballena speaks to children, parents, activists, and dreamers alike. Presented in Spanish with English supertitles, this unforgettable production is part of TeatroFest NYC 2025, a citywide celebration of Latinx theater.
Aguardiente: In Process
A new bilingual musical written and directed by Luis Salgado. Set against a rich tapestry of Hispanic culture and pride, Aguardiente: In Process tells the story of two artists—one from Puerto Rico, the other from Colombia—who navigate the exhilarating yet treacherous path of artistic expression. In the fight to stay true to their vision in a world driven by commerce and conformity, they face the ever-present tension between survival and artistic integrity.

RicanVisions: Curatorial Walkthrough
Join us for a special community walkthrough with the curators of RicanVisions and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
About the exhibition:
RicanVisions aims to continue to expand the canon of Diasporican visual art, bridging the past and present of contemporary art from the Puerto Rican diaspora. The exhibition includes emerging artists, some who are showing in New York City for the first time, as well as veteran artists overdue for recognition, such as Marina Gutiérrez and the abstract artist Evelyn López de Guzmán who are showcasing work that has never been exhibited before. Some of the artists were selected through their participation in the annual Artist-in-Residence open call at The Latinx Project.

La niña y la ballena (The Girl and the Whale)
La niña y la ballena (Neska eta Balea / The Girl and the Whale) is a visually stunning, deeply moving theatrical experience that resonates across generations. A lone whale returns to the harbor of Getaria on Spain’s Basque coast, carrying the ancestral memory of her species’ persecution and the echoes of a vanishing world beneath the waves. When twelve-year-old Itxaso—a girl with hearing loss who perceives the delicate balance between sound and silence—crosses paths with Jokin, a local journalist investigating the whale’s mysterious arrival, an unexpected journey unfolds.
Together, they uncover a haunting truth: the ocean’s soundscape is under siege. Modern noise pollution, invisible to most, is a deadly assault on marine life. But Itxaso listens—really listens—and with the help of hydrophones, she and Jokin discover an ancient message hidden in whale song. One that has waited centuries to be heard.
Interweaving Basque maritime history, environmental urgency, and the magical bond between a child and a whale, this lyrical and heart-filled play asks: If the ocean remembers everything we’ve done, will we have the courage to listen—and the wisdom to change?
With breathtaking projections, emotive puppetry, and a story full of heart, La niña y la ballena speaks to children, parents, activists, and dreamers alike. Presented in Spanish with English supertitles, this unforgettable production is part of TeatroFest NYC 2025, a citywide celebration of Latinx theater.

On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of ABC No Rio’s founding, Historias Sembradas—the research and public engagement phase of Historias, The Clemente’s multi-year initiative—presents Historietas, an exhibition of Latinx comic book artists whose work weaves together multi-generational narratives of survival, resilience, and coming-of-age in NYC’s neighborhoods.
Curated by Peruvian cartoonist and educator Carlo Quispe, Historietas brings together seven contemporary Latinx creators whose work spans from the Bronx to the Lower East Side, tracing histories across public schools, prison libraries, community spaces, homes, and streets. These artists—Ivan Velez Jr., Sandy Jimenez, Carlo Quispe, Sharon De La Cruz, Ivan Monforte, Medar De La Cruz, and Daisy Ruiz—challenge dominant narratives through the immediacy of comics, using the medium to document lived experiences and create informal yet powerful counter-histories.
The Spanish word Historietas translates to “little histories” or “short stories,” but despite their modest size, these comics serve as potent tools for self-representation, storytelling, and political discourse. Through independent and mainstream publishing, the featured artists ensure that their voices and perspectives are seen, read, and remembered.
*Historietas is part of ABC No Rio’s 45th Anniversary and part of a larger ongoing Historias partnership with ABC No Rio. For the full list of upcoming events taking place as part of ABC No Rio’s 45th Anniversary see THIS LINK!

La niña y la ballena (The Girl and the Whale)
La niña y la ballena (Neska eta Balea / The Girl and the Whale) is a visually stunning, deeply moving theatrical experience that resonates across generations. A lone whale returns to the harbor of Getaria on Spain’s Basque coast, carrying the ancestral memory of her species’ persecution and the echoes of a vanishing world beneath the waves. When twelve-year-old Itxaso—a girl with hearing loss who perceives the delicate balance between sound and silence—crosses paths with Jokin, a local journalist investigating the whale’s mysterious arrival, an unexpected journey unfolds.
Together, they uncover a haunting truth: the ocean’s soundscape is under siege. Modern noise pollution, invisible to most, is a deadly assault on marine life. But Itxaso listens—really listens—and with the help of hydrophones, she and Jokin discover an ancient message hidden in whale song. One that has waited centuries to be heard.
Interweaving Basque maritime history, environmental urgency, and the magical bond between a child and a whale, this lyrical and heart-filled play asks: If the ocean remembers everything we’ve done, will we have the courage to listen—and the wisdom to change?
With breathtaking projections, emotive puppetry, and a story full of heart, La niña y la ballena speaks to children, parents, activists, and dreamers alike. Presented in Spanish with English supertitles, this unforgettable production is part of TeatroFest NYC 2025, a citywide celebration of Latinx theater.

Reclaiming Spaces in the South Bronx. A walking tour for Bronxites
Revolutionary Boricua Lisa Ortega guides Nicolás through some of the sites that she, together with neighbors and activists around Southern Boulevard, have regained access to for community purposes. Once condemned, padlocked or out of reach for collective use, some of the lots that Lisa and Nicolás will visit with you are today playgrounds, vegetable gardens and sports courts. This walk on March 30th in the South Bronx evolved from conversations about tourists’ buses, mostly with Spanish visitors, arriving in the area and stopping by for a quick selfie at “The Bronx” mural on Westchester Avenue where the popular Double Discount department store used to be. What brings people from outside to this section of our borough still perceived by those not from here as a “ghetto”? How does a tour for Bronxites look like and what benefits will it yield in terms of remembering and honoring those who have done the work?
One specific story that prompted this walk was shared with Nicolás by Lisa, and it relates to an unhoused person sleeping below “The Bronx” mural. This person was threatened to be removed because of an outsider’s call to the police so tourists could use the backdrop for their “I was there” selfies. What does it mean to reclaim spaces for communities in a South Bronx that even some of its local politicians have been giving the green light to developers to gentrify…because as Nicolás heard someone say “…it is “cheap”? How do communities in this culturally vibrant area of our city continue to hold onto the spaces reclaimed and keep them RADICAL?
Lisa Ortega is a revolutionary Boricua, Mother of 4, Grandma of 5. She is a recovering addict being clean for 35 years and has been organizing for 31 years. She is a devout atheist and anarchist. She believes strongly that "people power" will ultimately bring about a full revolution...replacing politicians, police, and all other forms of oppression." Organizing is not an option but a way of life". Liberation of all is the final destination.
This event will be documented through video and photographs. Those attending must be okay with this. To join for this walk for Bronxites on March 30, 12 noon and to get directions as to where to meet, please contact Nicolás at indioclaro@hotmail.com or click HERE.

Inspired by Tiff’s childhood living room—a space to be seen but not sat in—the exhibition transforms a symbol of pride and restriction into a shared space for gathering, introspection, and creativity. As a first-generation Jamaican American, Tiff’s experience mirrors those of many Black, Caribbean, and multicultural households. In the gallery, this space is reimagined as a place for “connection and solitude, nostalgia and newness.”
Free opening and closing celebrations will take place on Thursday, March 20, from 5:30–8:00 PM, and Saturday, August 16, from 2:00–5:00 PM. Guests are invited to meet the artist, engage with her work, and enjoy refreshments, with music provided by Tiff herself, a global DJ sensation and music director.
Casita Maria is a safe space that incorporates expressive arts into our Art Studios curriculum during after-school program hours. This exhibition is particularly important for the young artists of Casita Maria as it provides an opportunity for them to see galleries as creative, welcoming spaces to explore ideas in three dimensions and how to use the creative process as a tool for healing and wellness.
