Performance | Zachary Fabri's A Movement in Time, an Outdoor Performance


This work articulates the physical movement of pedestrians and the layered architectural history of El more Barrio. In a response to El Barrio's cultural traditions, political history and social environment, Zachary will be performing a sequence of body movements, exercises, gestures, and poses derived from rote daily activities that seem inconsequential, but when isolated and repeated, often reveal a hidden narrative. Each gesture will be repeated for different lengths of time, for a total duration of 2 hours. A text serving as a script and offering detailed information about each movement will be available. Referencing the rich history of African and Latin dance, this work uses the body to conjure images at once abstract and intimate. Zachary Fabri was born in Miami, Florida in 1977. Focusing on video and performance, his work seeks to create a space for discourse around social and political systems of oppression. In addition to video, he also incorporates various media including photography, sculpture, drawing, and installation into his work, which often responds to a specific environment or context. less

Concert | Rock-Latin Fusion with DelExilio


Although their name means "from exile" in Spanish, four-piece band DelExilio have created a musical home more for themselves within their unique hybrid of American rock and lithe Cuban soul. The band is the brainchild of singer-guitarist David Sandoval, a New Yorker of Cuban descent, whose vigorous acoustic guitar playing is both the band’s main engine and the bridge joining its disparate styles. Atop that foundation, expect spidery lines on the Cuban tres (guitar) winding through bongos and bass patterns, claves giving way to backbeats, and a general funk “a lo Cubano” that ultimately does justice to all of its influences. less
