When: Sept 28, 2024 @ 2:00 - 9:00 PM

Where: Outside of The Clemente on Suffolk St (between Rivington & Delancey)

We are thrilled to launch our groundbreaking initiative Historias with a vibrant block party on September 28th! This event will feature street performances, artist commissions, music, and public activations in partnership with Street Lab. The event will close with the debut of a special Historias commission Cuarto Oscuro, a live streamed four part performance created by Lucia della Paolera and Seth Tillett, projected on the Suffolk Street facade of the Clemente Center.

Historias is an expansive citywide initiative that weaves scholarly research, oral histories, and cultural programming to re-center Latinx narratives in NYC. Unfolding between 2024 and 2026, presented in partnership with the LxNY Consortium with lead support from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Historias marks the largest initiative in The Clemente’s 30-year history and celebrates the transformative impact of Latinx communities in New York City.
