SUMMARY:Rituals of Repair
DESCRIPTION:Cuchifritos Gallery is pleased to present Rituals of Repair\, a three-person exhibition bringing together the work of Jonathan Sánchez Noa\, Alejandro Valencia\, and Carlos Vielma\, on view April 17-June 13\, 2026. Centered on themes of cultural resilience\, the exhibition considers how artists mobilize material\, memory\, and ritual to confront the enduring effects of colonialism and to imagine forms of continuity across rupture.  \nAt the heart of the exhibition is an exploration of the porous relationships between colonial histories\, religious inheritances in cultural diaspora\, and personal ritual. Through sculpture\, assemblage\, and materially charged paintings\, the exhibition traces how inherited knowledge persists\, transforms\, and reemerges through the body\, the landscape\, and everyday acts of resilience.  \nJonathan Sánchez Noa’s handmade paper works are laden with culturally significant materials such as cascarilla\, indigo\, and tobacco. Intertwining traditional modes of fabrication\, natural materials\, and ritual practices\, his works create connections between nature\, spirituality\, and the body while reconstructing narratives of displacement in relation to cultural and religious significance.  \nAlejandro Valencia’s sculptures emerge as a product of mestizaje: a process of collision where materials and their histories meet\, fracture\, and recombine. Found and reclaimed objects marked by social\, cultural\, and political memory\, are brought into contact\, altering the meanings they carry. Moving between symbol and material\, the works give rise to new narratives\, where identity appears not as fixed\, but as an alchemical and shifting condition\, continuously transformed.  \nCarlos Vielma returns to a pictorial technique typical of the border\, popularized in the 1970s in Mexican craft markets where gringos bought souvenirs. Black velvet paintings have long been considered kitsch\, as their typical subjects range from stereotyped Indigenous imagery to pop icons like Elvis. Through a kind of auto-ethnography\, he draws on family memory to highlight the  \npolitical conditions that have shaped his family through representations of the border landscape.  \nConceived as a dialogue between artists from across the Americas\, the exhibition highlights shared affinities in material experimentation and symbolism. Together\, they reinvigorate traditions of found object assemblage\, material symbolism\, and creolization to examine knowledge systems that remain at the edges of Western thought while also reaching beyond it.  \nRather than offering fixed histories\, the works in Rituals of Repair open a space for reflection on survival\, transformation\, and relation. Across diverse practices\, the exhibition proposes cultural resilience not as recovery alone\, but as an active\, ongoing process of making meaning from fracture\, inheritance\, and change. \nAbout the artists \nJonathan Sánchez Noa is a Cuban-American multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, papermaking\, and sculpture.

SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents: Oscar Dudamel y su Orquesta
DESCRIPTION:It’s a family affair at Lincoln Center when the acclaimed Venezuelan trombonist and bandleader Oscar Dudamel—father of the New York Philharmonic’s Music & Artistic Director\, Gustavo Dudamel—takes the stage with his Orchestra for a free concert and social dance event at the David Rubenstein Atrium. A musical prodigy\, Oscar Dudamel was enraptured in his youth by the magic of salsa when he first heard the sounds of Willie Colón. Dudamel received classical training within his hometown’s highly regarded El Sistema Music Education program and went on to play in classical orchestras\, but his fascination with the Caribbean rhythms of salsa never left him. His Caracas-based salsa orchestra has shared the stage with Rubén Blades\, Hector Lavoe\, Gilberto Santa Rosa\, Luis Enrique\, and many others. Dudamel’s headlining\, full-band Lincoln Center premiere celebrates the release of the artist’s new album Sueño Alcanzado.

SUMMARY:In the Shadow of Ivory Towers: The Enduring Appeal of Dark Academia (PEN America World Voices Festival 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The hallowed halls of academia have long captured the imaginations of writers. With their exclusivity\, insularity\, and at times cultish devotion to knowledge\, they lend themselves to richly drawn atmospheres of darkness and mystery and incisive explorations of access\, adolescence\, and power. \nIn Naomi Novik’s Scholomance series\, magically gifted students fight not to become prey to the monsters that lurk in the school’s shadows. In Mónica Ojeda’s Jawbone (tr. Sarah Booker)\, it is the students themselves who are the monsters\, and a school for the daughters of Ecuador’s elite becomes a breeding ground for cultish violence. And in Elisabeth Thomas’s Catherine House\, it just might be the prestigious institution itself that poses the biggest threat. \nJoin these authors in conversation with writer and editor Christina Orlando as they unpack what drew them\, and what draws us\, again and again\, to the evergreen genre of dark academia. \nCART caption is provided at this event. Captioning is being provided\, in part\, by a grant from NYSCA/TDF TAP Plus.

SUMMARY:Who Belongs? Stories Against a Narrowing World (PEN America World Voices Festival 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, political and cultural forces are aligning to narrowly define national identities. Surging book bans\, the outlawing of languages\, the erasure of histories from official records\, and the censorship of words increasingly limit who belongs and delineate who is other. Literature subverts that. \nFor the festival’s closing night event\, PEN America President Dinaw Mengestu will convene prominent international writers to discuss how literature champions a diversity of cultures and reflects the multiple heritages\, customs\, and traditions we all carry. Joining Mengestu in this vital conversation are Tash Aw (The South)\, Susan Choi (Flashlight)\, Patricia Smith (The Intentions of Thunder)\, and Madeleine Thien (The Book of Records).  \nCART caption is provided at this event.

SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents: Minty Fresh Circus
DESCRIPTION:Conceived by Monique Martin in collaboration with a range of circus performing artists\, Minty Fresh Circus is a US-based circus show performed by an all-Black and Brown cast celebrating the healing power of Black music and movement\, infused with the joy and resilience of those who traversed the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Inspired by abolitionist Harriet Araminta Tubman and the survival of generations of African Americans\, the central question in Minty Fresh Circus is: what does freedom feel and sound like if your only access to it is through your imagination?

SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents: Voices of a People's History
DESCRIPTION:The works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010)\, particularly the classic bestsellers A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States\, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice in America.

SUMMARY:ASL Tour: Paul Klee: Other Possible Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Participants in the ASL community are invited to explore the exhibition Paul Klee: Other Possible Worlds through a tour led by a Deaf educator. Please join us from 3:30 – 4 pm for light refreshments. \nPaul Klee: Other Possible Worlds marks the first American museum exhibition to focus on the artist’s late work. In 1933\, Klee was forced to flee Germany in the face of Nazi persecution. His work was denounced as ‘degenerate\,’ a term used by Hitler to stigmatize artists and their art. In this period of exile Klee developed a new style\, one that was poetic\, exploratory\, and an artistic rebellion against authoritarianism. \nDue to limited capacity\, ASL students will not be admitted to the program and no voice interpretation will be provided.  \nAll Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. If you have any questions or need accommodations\, please contact access@thejm.org or 212-423-3289. If you are interested in observing this program\, please reach out to us before registering.
