Passages at the Andrew Freedman Home in the Bronx

An invitation from Yolanda L. Rodríguez, MA Ed.and Josué Guarionex Colón:

We would like to invite you to the Opening Night Event for our organization’s latest event "Passages: A Collective Exhibition”, to take place from September 26th to October 10th at the Andrew Freedman Home in the Bronx.

Just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month a Collective of 20 Hispanic artists will explore the human condition at its raw state and how art is the passage to a different Hispanic experience. The art pieces will explore the things to which the human gravitates or holds on to when emotionally charged (religion, politics or social interactions, nostalgia, lust, passion, writing, music, dance).

This event will be a collaboration of artists utilizing a variety of mediums and performance arts. During the 2 weeks of exhibition, Visiones Culturales, LLC, has also planned numerous art workshops for the community and cultural events. These events will be a collaboration between many non-profit organizations and the collective of artists. All of which are committed to and engaged in using their art in many other humanitarian and civic organizations. These are artists giving back to the community!!!

Some of the events include: Ghetto Brothers, Bomba Yo, Workshops by Tanya Torres, Carolina Bermudez, Yarisa Colon; Nilka Martel (Founder of G.I.V.E. Getting Involved, Virginia Ave. Efforts); among others, Noche de Poesía y Música Latinoamericana in collaboration with Asociación Internacional de Poetas y Escritores Hispanos AIPEH NY and Los Chamanes music group, Artist Marqueta in collaboration with the Puerto Rican Institute for the Development of the Arts (PRIDA), Live Art event in collaboration with YUCA Art Project, Artist Q & A and Short Film presentation, Dance Performers, DJs and Live Music.
