AIR

 
In AIR, Valencia creates a performance where she pays homage to the work of artists of Mexican descent, such as the Los Angeles based collective ASCO, and Mexican television and film characters like Don Ramon, El Chavo, Cantinflas or Maria Felix. She acknowledges that exposure to these figures has informed her work as much as New York’s experimental downtown dance history. It is a nod to generations of mestiza and Latinx artists who grew up in the United States existing in a hybridity of cultures, positioned in-between, learning how to belong and not belong to the one or the other.
 
In AIR, Valencia draws commonalities and kinships to this diaspora as they synthesize within her body of work and research as a Latina artist. Valencia shows us we are all listening through osmosis. This is all in her air, so to speak.
 
*ASL will be available on January 11. If you have any questions please email boxoffice@PerformanceSpaceNewYork.org.
 

Commissioned by Performance Space New York. AIR is made  possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

DUETS: Kia LaBeija and Julie Tolentino in Conversation

 

To celebrate the publication DUETS: Kia LaBeija & Julie Tolentino In Conversation, Kia LaBeija and Julie Tolentino will be in dialogue with Vivian Crockett, with readings from the book’s essays authored by Lia Gangitano and David Velasco.

 

For the DUETS publication, Kia LaBeija and Julie Tolentino come together for an intergenerational dialogue that illuminates their histories as artists and their relationships to HIV/AIDS spanning more than twenty years. From different perspectives, they discuss their shared practices as artists, performance makers, dancers, poets, and activists. With additional contributions by Lia Gangitano and David Velasco.

 

DUETS is a series of publications that pairs artists, activists, writers, and thinkers in dialogues about their creative practices and current social issues around HIV/AIDS.

DUETS: Kia LaBeija & Julie Tolentino In Conversation is available for purchase online at the Visual AIDS store, and will also be available at the event.

Clit Club

 

“Clit Club was more than a party. Or, like the best parties, it was an ethos, a destination that lived inside its inhabitants—a roving home for dykes, sex workers, and unflappable misfits. A legendary safe house along the path of a malevolent journey.” – David Velasco

Kiki Ball

 

If you would like to sponsor a member of the LGBTQ community to attend the Kiki Ball, click here to support.

 

We’re teaming up with our neighbors, The Alliance for Positive Change (formerly AIDS Service Center NYC)  to bring to you, the Kiki Ball.

Emerging out of the historical House/Ballroom community, the Kiki scene is a highly organized and creative youth-led organization. It centers around so-called houses, with complex kinship structures, that function as vital support systems—support systems that the government and biological families often fail to provide. The underground scene is best known for its lavish balls, where performers present their unique looks and movement styles, competing in different categories for their respective houses.

 

*Free HIV/AIDS testing will be offered on site.
