David Reinfield Oaxaca / Winter 2013

The state of Oaxaca in Mexico is known for being a brilliantly colored city of the arts where artisanal crafts like weaving and pottery are practiced with an ancient precision. Tasty chapulines (grasshoppers,) a notable Oaxacan ingredient, are sprinkled over tlayudas, similar to tostadas but giant. Much of the area is mountainous and the vivid colors and ornamentation of the city is unmistakable. NYC-born photographer David Reinfeld attempts to capture this vivacity with composite photographs that use a layering technique. The opening reception for his show of Oaxacan images is Thursday, October 3rd from 6 to 8 pm and it will be up until October 26th.

Latin@ Identity in a Shifting City @ Museo

Journalist and Columbia professor Ed Morales will be moderating a discussion between NYU professor Dr. Arlene Davila and artist Miguel Luciano. They will be talking about Latin@ identity, particularly how it has been shaped in NYC from 1980 until now. This talk is in conjunction with the recently aired 6 hour PBS documentary Latino Americans that documents a 500 year history of Latinos in the U.S. You can watch all the videos on the PBS website here. It’s always a good time to brush up on your Latino history, so host an educational viewing party with friends or attend the talk at Museo with some Latin@ intelligentsia. It will take place this Wednesday, October 2nd from 6:30 to 8pm.
