Presented as part of the Clemente’s Historias initiative, the Remesas y Sobremesa series invites you to gather around the table, where the warmth of food and shared meals meets thoughtful dialogue. This event will be the second iteration of Remesas y Sobremesa,focusing on Migration and Spiritual Belief, one of Historias core thematic tracks.

Presented in partnership with Performance Space New York, artist and anthropologist Cynthia Santos-Briones will host an intimate discussion over shared food and drink about mutual aid, her recent border trips to Mexico, and NYC’s migrant services. 

She, along with academic Michel Castañeda, journalist Paola Ramos, and photographer Natalia Mendez, will discuss mutual aid as a vital response to anti-immigrant policies and how to provide immediate and long-term relief to fractured communities. The conversation will highlight the role of artists as cultural bridges—preserving and sharing knowledge through their work.
