June 4, 11, 18 Sharing the Same Cielo/Sky @ Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture
Sharing the Same Cielo is a series of three video presentations in June 2021 of performance works by Latina/Latinx dance, film and spoken word artists who have been connected through Pepatián’s 30+ years of work in arts and culture in The Bronx.
Based on the projects’ ethos to create space for connection and remove isolation, Sharing the Same Cielo offers artists a way to focus on working together even in physical distancing. This project shows the strength of collective imagining and the profound connections born from two years of meetings, conversations, and sharing of works-in-process.
Dance works and poetry connect with sky and water,and with Ochún and Yemayá, moving us from Clocktower building in Mott Haven, The Bronx to Richmond Virginia, and from Puerto Rico to Indianapolis, Indiana always returning to The Bronx as the artistic and central hub of all our work.
Dance Artists include: Merián Soto (co-founder, Pepatián), Noemí Segarra Ramírez (collaborator with Pepatián since 1995),along with other artists who have worked with Pepatián since the early 2000s, dance artists: Rokafella, Alicia Díaz, and poet/video editor Caridad De La Luz, along with other more recent collaborators: Leenda Bonilla (visual artist), Beatrice Capote (dancer), Megan Curet (dancer), Melanie Gonzalez (visual artist, video editor),Beverly Lopez (dancer). This 2020-21 engagement is an exciting collective collaboration that brings significant artists together to explore commonalities and creative expressions that connect their artistic worlds.
