We are Guardians
2024-05-03 19:30 - 22:00
We are Guardians Film Screening
Featuring a Discussion with activist Puyr Tembé and directors Chelsea Greene, and Rob Grobman.

About the event
In the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, thousands of people are unlawfully invading protected lands, devastating centuries-old forests for resources and fast profits. Now as the health of the entire Amazon teeters at the edge, will Brazil and the world take notice? Indigenous forest guardian Marçal Guajajara and Indigenous leader Puyr Tembé stand at the frontlines of this fight, risking their lives to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation. On the other side–Valdir, an illegal logger, is trapped in a desperate struggle to make ends meet and sees no other way than continuing to cut down the forest. This is the powerful narrative at the heart of We Are Guardians — a story of hope and resilience amidst an unfolding crisis. Through a tapestry of voices, this award-winning documentary provides a raw and intimate look at the lives of those closest to the Amazon and peels back the layers of this critical situation to reveal a story that ultimately affects all of us.

Directed by Edivan Guajajara, Chelsea Greene, and Rob Grobman, and produced by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens with Leonardo DiCaprio serving as Executive Producer, the film is an exploration of the human spirit and our collective responsibility to protect the fragile balance of our world. Ultimately, it illuminates a path forward, where hope and unity can guide us toward a brighter future for the Amazon and our planet.

Q&A with Directors: Chelsea Greene, Rob Grobman and activist Puyr Tembé.

RE-STORY-ATION: ART + ARCHITECTURE
2024-05-03 18:00 - 2024-05-25 18:00
RE-STORY-ATION: ART + ARCHITECTURE
Sook Jin Jo & John di Domenico, Curated by Soojung Hyun
May 3 – May 25, 2024
Gallery Hours: Wed – Sat, 12 – 6 pm
Opening Reception: Friday, May 3, 6-8 PM
ARTEGO Gallery 32-88 48th Queens NY 11103
ARTEGO Gallery is proud to present “RE-STORY-ATION: ART + ARCHITECTURE,” an innovative exhibition that navigates the intertwining of architecture and art through the works of two distinguished artists/architects, Sook Jin Jo and John di Domenico. The exhibition spreads drawings, photographs, paintings, and video documentaries, including three- and four-dimensional expressions. By introducing the dynamic interplay between their works, the exhibition seeks to push the boundaries of each artist's practice while exploring the profound meaning of art and its intrinsic connection to humanity.
The term of 'Re-story-ation' centers around the idea of envisioning and constructing the narratives of our lives. Enriching narratives through recontextualization can broaden human understanding and empathy. The exhibition "Re-story-ation" employs the convergence of 'architecture and art' as a framework for this storytelling endeavor. At its core, "RE-STORY-ATION: ART + ARCHITECTURE " celebrates the unique perspectives and creative insights of Sook Jin Jo and John di Domenico. di Domenico's distinctive paintings and drawings, showcased alongside his impressive architectural projects such as Fernow Hall at Cornell University, the Silver Line Washington DC Metro, Stillwell Avenue Station at Coney Island, and subway stations in Astoria, New York, exemplify his seamless integration of art and architecture. Meanwhile, Jo's thought-provoking art chapel projects in Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador, along with her captivating artworks and documentaries, are presented here.
With over four decades of experience in both fields, John di Domenico perceives creating architecture and painting as intricately intertwined. His paintings, starting as doodles, evolve into colorful compositions, blurring the line between representation and abstraction. The process of making paintings serves as the cornerstone of his storytelling, reflecting his ideas about space and its inhabitants. Through his artwork, John di Domenico imbues his architectural designs with empathy and profound insight into the human experience.
Sook Jin Jo shares an intimate relationship with both architecture and installation art. Her installations, including her captivating chair pieces, capture the essence of human presence within intimate and contemplative environments. Furthermore, her projects to construct spaces for prayer and contemplation incorporate the cultural backgrounds of local communities, blurring the boundaries between architecture and art. For Sook Jin Jo, every aspect of her creative process, from sketches to media presentations of architectural projects, exists within the realm of art.
Sook Jin Jo
Sook Jin Jo is an accomplished multidisciplinary artist with over four decades of experience. Her expansive work encompasses drawings, installations, performances, and architectural endeavors. Jo's artistic prowess has been showcased on the global stage through over forty solo exhibitions, including prestigious venues such as Franconia Sculpture Park in Shafer, Minnesota, the Seoul Museum of Art for "SeMA GOLD 2014: Nobody" in Seoul, Korea, and the Huntington Museum of Art for the "Walter Gropius Master Artist Series" in Huntington, West Virginia. Additionally, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions, earning recognition through esteemed awards, fellowships, and commissions. Her works can be found in prominent public collections worldwide, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Korea, the LA Metro Detention Center in Los Angeles, California, and the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in Miami, Florida. (https://www.sookjinjo.com/bio05.htm)
John di Domenico
John di Domenico is an artist and architect known for exploring the interplay between visual and spatial design. Di Domenico graduated from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Italy. He serves on the Boards of the New York Transit Museum and Coney Island, USA. In 2013, he was awarded the Sydney L. Strauss Award from the New York Society of Architects for outstanding achievement for the benefit of the architectural profession. Di Domenico's architectural work focuses on innovation and sustainability, spanning transit infrastructure, education, and community spaces. Among his notable achievements are his instrumental role in the establishment of the High Line in 1984 and his collaboration with Vito Acconci in 2003 for the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium Station. These endeavors stand as shining examples of di Domenico's exceptional research and dedication to enhancing urban infrastructure. (https://www.didomenico.nyc/about)

Flora The Red Menace
2024-05-02 19:30 - 2024-05-05 16:30
Forager Theatre Company is thrilled to present Kander & Ebb’s first musical, an historic and rarely-produced tale, “Flora the Red Menace.” Premiered in 1965, it was a unique bridge between political FTP shows of the 1930s, the musical comedies of the Golden Age, and the darker, thornier concept musicals of the late 20th century. Utilizing an exciting, eccentric score, it explores labor rights, class divides, the power of community, female self-actualization, and the importance of young individuals developing their own moral compass.
Coming off their acclaimed in-the-round production of “tick, tick…BOOM!” last year, seen at The New Ohio in NYC and Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca, NY, Forager will present a similarly fresh, innovative, and excavating take on this classic. It will feature a wall-sized mural designed specifically for this production by artist Tanya Gupta, as well as numerous other exciting production elements.
“Flora the Red Menace” has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, the original 1965 book by George Abbot & Robert Russell, and a revised 1987 libretto by David Thompson. Its original Broadway first production starred Liza Minelli, who won a Tony Award for her performance.

2024-04-26 19:00 - 21:00 | Culture Lab LIC, 5-25 46th Avenue, Long Island City, New York, NY, 11101, United States
No History by Reynaldo Piniella is a solo theater piece about Arturo Schomburg, a man who crossed oceans in a quest to preserve our history. This diasporic journey will fill us up with cornbread before transporting us to the frontlines of the fight for Cuban and Puerto Rican independence, the streets of New York City during the Harlem Renaissance, and back to the kitchen where it all began. We will experience the music of the Caribbean, the joy of eating soul food for the first time, the poetry of Harlem and rediscover San Juan Hill, the community that was uprooted to build Lincoln Center. With guest appearances from Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes and W. E. B. DuBois, this coming of age story will make us celebrate our shared history and inspire us to save our grandmother's recipes.
One night only: April 26, 7pm
