Make It Rooted! 

This public park, built on a historic, elevated rail line on Manhattan’s West Side, was saved from demolition by neighborhood residents and the City of New York, and opened in 2009 as a hybrid public space where visitors experience nature, art, and design.

About Abya Yala Arte Y Cultura
Since 2002, Abya Yala Arte y Cultura, a New York-based 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural organization, has presented diverse art projects that maintain Andean cultural expressions and promote cultural awareness. Our programs are community grounded, intergenerational and inclusive. Each year, Abya Yala presents and produces a season of events that include: educational and artistic workshops, art exhibitions, community forums, theatrical representations, and culinary and art festivals. Our programs are multidisciplinary and led by professional artists. Special emphasis is always placed on the quality of the artistic expressions and the historical and cultural accuracy of the information presented. An important objective is to increase appreciation and knowledge of traditional Andean art and culture through a deep exploration of authentic millenary traditions, while embracing contemporary artists and their aspirations to grow and re-interpret their cultural knowledge. Our programs involve working collaboratively with other organizations and the community at large, establishing artistic partnerships and convening artists of all genres to nurture shared values and address issues of diversity through the arts.
