Loisaida Center is pleased to bring the second cycle of our successful Garbagia Project initiative. Gabargia Universe, like Garbagia Island before, uses re-purposing and recycling as pedagogy and practice to consider pressing issues: climate change, the migrant experience and Latinx urbanism. This version will offer three component workshops where participants can hone their skills and realize their final products in a performative exposition. These include sewing and costume making, sculptural and conceptual art, and performance production.
