Nueva York is an Emmy award winning series about Latino culture in New York. The 30-minute show explores the rich textures of Latino society in the city, focusing on politics, art, culture, and the traditions of Spanish-speaking populations across the metropolitan area.
Renowned author Carmen Boullosa sits down with mexicana Laura Filloy, curator at the MET, to discuss the enduring cultural significance of ancient artifacts. Filloy highlights how these objects carry narratives from the past that remain relevant today, shaping our understanding of human history and identity. Their conversation delves into how museums can bridge ancient and modern contexts to keep history alive for diverse audiences.
Spaniard Rafa Sanchez, the new artistic director of Repertorio Español, shares his ambitions for revitalizing Latin theater in NYC. Sanchez envisions a future where traditional and contemporary Latin American voices find balance on stage, creating spaces where the Latinx community sees itself reflected in a dynamic and inclusive way. His leadership aims to foster innovative performances that resonate with both younger and established audiences.
Finally, Nicaraguan artist Franck de las Mercedes discusses his Art on the Ave NYC residency at Oculus, where he explores themes of identity and urban life through vibrant mixed-media works. De las Mercedes’s residency provides him with a unique public platform to engage audiences directly, blending art and city life in a dynamic fusion that reflects New York’s spirit.
