Presented as part of the Clemente’s Historias initiative, the Remesas y Sobremesa series invites you to gather around the table, where the warmth of food and shared meals meets thoughtful dialogue.

Inspired by the 1960s Young Filmmakers Foundation of the Lower East Side, the Clemente/Historias Youth Film Club empowers teenagers to document their realities through mobile filmmaking. This screening, presented by Gabo Camnitzer and Justin Denis of the 2024/2025 Youth Filmmakers cohort alongside special guests from the original Young Filmmakers Foundation, bridges generations through film. Featuring both new works and archival gems, the screening will be followed by a conversation exploring storytelling as a powerful tool for self-representation and intergenerational dialogue.

Join us for the second iteration of Remesas y Sobremesa, an ongoing series co-presented by PSNY as part of The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center’s multiyear Historias initiative.

This edition will be focusing on Migration and Spiritual Belief, one of Historias core thematic tracks.
 
Artist and anthropologist Cynthia Santos-Briones will host an intimate discussion over shared food and drink about mutual aid, her recent border trips to Mexico, and NYC’s migrant services.
 
Santos-Briones, along with academic Michel Castañeda, journalist Paola Ramos, and photographer Natalia Mendez, will discuss mutual aid as a vital response to anti-immigrant policies and how to provide immediate and long-term relief to fractured communities. The conversation will highlight the role of artists as cultural bridges—preserving and sharing knowledge through their work.
