Lizzy Alejandro's El Diablo Es Una Mujer

Lente Latine/Latin Lens sheds light on recent works by Latin American photographers based on the east coast. Curated by the photographer Natali Bravo-Barbee, the exhibition highlights these artists’ exploration of their ancestral roots, cultural identity, and diasporic communities through varied photographic techniques.

Featured artists are: Manuel Acevedo, Carlos Alejandro, Lizzy Alejandro, Jacqueline Herranz Brooks, Monica Flores, Juan C. Giraldo, Orestes Gonzalez, Cesar Melgar, Qiana Mestrich, Josephina Moran, William Riera, Gabriel Garcia Roman, and Dakota Santiago.

In conjunction with the Latin Lens exhibition on view at the Visual Arts Gallery, this panel will feature three exhibiting artists: Manuel Acevedo, Juan Giraldo, and Cesar Melgar. With the images of their work, they will discuss the importance of the street photography and their inspirations.

From one of musical theatre's most exciting new composers comes "Ordinary Days", a refreshingly honest and funny musical about making real connections in the city that never sleeps (but probably should at some point).

"Ordinary Days" tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. "Ordinary Days" is an original musical for anyone who's ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.

Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon.

Dalio, tells the story of four couples managing their relationships against the backdrop of 1950’s NYC. Created as a partner show for this season’s "Ordinary Days", "Enchanted Evenings" also gives us a look into the many joys, laughs and struggles of love and marriage, but through the lens and musical style of a different era. With music from "Annie Get Your Gun", "Carousel", "The Music Man", "West Side Story", "She Loves Me", "Do Re Mi", "South Pacific", "Showboat", "Guys and Dolls", "Once Upon a Mattress", "Kiss Me Kate", and more, this show will lift your spirits, warm your heart, and tug on the strings of nostalgia.
