Remesas y Sobremesa – ¡Qué rico sancocho!

The fall season concludes with the fifth edition of Remesas y Sobremesa: ¡Qué rico sancocho! The Resistant Corporeal Joy of Latinx Everyday Poetics in Nueva York. Scholar and educator Arnaldo Cruz-Malavé and participatory artist Lizania Cruz will be joined by scholar of U.S. Latinx cultures Dr. Cristina Pérez-Jiménez for an evening of shared food, poetry, and collaborative poster-making. Special guest Carmelita Tropicana will perform, adding her legendary humor and diasporic poetics to the event, while Cocotazo serves their signature sancocho in both beef and vegan versions, complemented by coffee and mini quesitos for dessert.

Unfolding in the spirit of sobremesa—the Latinx tradition of lingering at the table for conversation—the program will explore the joyously creative ways New York Latinxs transform everyday life. Through dialogue, collective action, and inspiration from visual artists and poets, participants will consider how open-ended practices of cultural mixing reimagine social space and reenvision community.

As part of The Clemente Historias initiative and coinciding with an exhibition by LA ESCUELA___ at MoMA PS1, this event combines storytelling, poetry, music, and hands-on art-making.
