Clemente Soto Velez Cultural and Educational Center is pleased to present

Performing Coordinates: Cityscapes Revised Curated by Zoe Lukov

Featuring works by Carlton DeWoody, Lucas Flores Piran, Chibi Lai, Wayne Liu, Zenith Richards, Reyes Santiago Rojas, and Georgia Wall.

Using the Clemente Soto Velez center and its presence in New York’s Lower East Side as a point of departure, Performing Coordinates: Cityscapes Revised investigates the performance of our individual identities upon the layered physical spaces we inhabit. The L.E.S. is the neighborhood in which new immigrants to New York have settled, and where today, hipsters, scenesters, artists, and young professionals lay claim to the stories, cultures, and peoples that define this contested territory. Performing Coordinates seeks to re-envision the cartography of the city as a palimpsest of histories that engage and affect the people who occupy it.
