The urban historian and architect, Nandini Bagchee, and Curator and Executive Director of The Clemente, Libertad Guerra, have teamed up to launch a digital exhibition and public resource, a spin-off of the eponymous book, Counter Institution: Activist Estates of the Lower East Side by Bagchee.

Esos Árboles, a mural by artist Molly Crabapple, is a permanent installation on view in the entrance vestibule of the Clemente. It includes extracts from Soto Veléz's poems translated from Spanish into Yiddish, into Mandarin translated by the artist Yao Xiao and English, bomba dancers, elderly Xiangqi players, the late Nuyorican activist Jorge Brandon, garment workers, a machete wielding cane-worker (aka Clemente’s bouncer), a wooden horse or ‘el caballo de palo’ in a nod to one of Soto Veléz best-known poems, ‘La Diosa de La Ceiba’, and an abandoned prison transforming into wildlife.
