About this Event
The final night of the Central Performance Festival, featuring performances by Yali Romagoza, Alicia Grullón, Milko Delgado, and Susanna Gonzalez-Revilla.
Yali Romagoza is a Cuban-born interdisciplinary artist based in New York. Her work explores migration and cultural displacement themes, often utilizing performance, video, photography, drawing, and costume design. Her alter ego, "Cuquita The Cuban Doll," reflects her immigrant experience and her quest for cultural belonging.
Alicia Grullón is a Bronx-based artist and organizer. Grullon’s social practice work extends to exploring how people relate to land in order to rally a transformation of our living by using performance and self-portraiture as a critique on the politics of presence, an argument for the inclusion of underinvested communities in political and social spheres.
Milko Delgado is a Panamanian transdisciplinary artist cueco (a derogatory term in Panama to refer to a homosexual person) and HIV+ mestizo of rural/popular/poor heritage, from that place they express. His cultural practice mixes different forms of research mostly from visual arts, video, performance, pedagogy and cultural management. His research navigates the intersections between the body and nature as a device that opens the way to dialogues related to identity, coloniality, extractive processes, health, pleasure, relationship with resources, community and others.
Susana Gonzalez-Revilla’s art is an interrogation of personal concerns, reflecting on issues such as aggression, fear and the breaking of taboos. The fight for freedom can be observed in several of her works, through a psychological lens. It is in painting where she finds her refuge, but her work is still restless and political. In recent years, through performance and installation, Gonzalez-Revilla has denounced violence against women, child abuse, corruption, and other social ills.
