Description

The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center in partnership with #PRSyllabus and the CUNY GC Center for the Humanities Present:

Sancocho LIVE : Catastrophe, Resistance, and Joy

A virtual stew of “non-essential” thinkers and makers
Un guiso virtual de pensadores y hacedores "no esenciales"

06.11, 06.18 & 06.25 @ 7pm via Zoom



This three-part virtual event will bring together scholars, writers, artists, and activists to think about how “non-essential” communities, workers, and institutions are responding to the intersecting catastrophes of the present.

Events are anchored around a series of questions, among them: How can we understand the COVID-19 pandemic within a longer narrative arc of disaster, austerity, and compounding crisis? For whom is the pandemic a transformative rupture, and for whom it is yet another episode in a larger story of precarity and disposability? What is the role of cultural organizing in the process of collective recovery? What role do cultural workers play in revaluing the work and worlds of those deemed either non-essential or expendable?

Drawing inspiration from Pedro Pietri’s concept of the “aesthetic sancocho” each event will consist of short video presentations, followed by a moderated dialogue (open to Q&A) with Puerto Rican cultural workers in the island and the diaspora. We will end with a virtual jangueo where DJ's set the mood and participants can continue building together.

** Events will be fully bilingual with English & Spanish interpretation made available by Babilla Collective **

Este evento virtual en tres partes reunirá a académicos, escritores, artistas y activistas a pensar en cómo comunidades, trabajadores e instituciones "no esenciales" están respondiendo a las multiples catastrophes del presente.

Los eventos estarán anclados alrededor de una serie de preguntas, entre ellas: ¿Cómo podemos entender la pandemia del COVID-19 dentro de una narrativa más extensa de desastre, austeridad y crisis acumulativa? ¿Para quién es la pandemia una ruptura transformadora, y para quién es otro episodio dentro de una historia más larga de precariedad y desechabilidad? ¿Cuál es el rol de la organización cultural en el proceso de recuperación colectiva? ¿Qué rol juegan les trabajadores culturales en revalorizar el trabajo y los mundos de aquellos designados no-esenciales o sacrificables?

Inspirándonos en el concepto de Pedro Pietri de un "sancocho estético", cada evento consistirá de presentaciones cortas en video, seguidas por un diálogo moderado (abierto a preguntas) con trabajadores culturales puertorriqueños en la isla y la diáspora. Terminaremos con un jangueo virtual donde DJ's montan el ambiente y participantes pueden continuar la conversación.

** Eventos serán completamente bilingues con interpretación disponible en inglés y español por Babilla Collective **
