FEATURED EVENTS

Artist Miguel Braceli presents Flag­pole Piña­ta Par­ty, a par­tic­i­pa­to­ry per­for­mance from his ongo­ing project Eman­ci­pa­to­ry Lands (Tier­ras Libres). Draw­ing on the Latin Amer­i­can tra­di­tion of the piña­ta, the work trans­forms the flag from a sym­bol of bor­ders and nation­al pow­er into a shared ves­sel for cel­e­bra­tion, exchange, and col­lec­tive imag­i­na­tion. Pre­sent­ed by Mon­u­ment Lab, the New York City Depart­ment of Cul­tur­al Affairs (DCLA), Gov­er­nors Island Arts, and LA ESCUELA___, the project uses music, pro­ces­sion, and shared mak­ing to reflect on transna­tion­al­i­ty, belong­ing, and col­lec­tive identity.
