Advocacy
As part of the the Latinx Arts Consortium of NY | LxNY, the Clemente Soto Veléz Cultural and Education Center, Inc., continued its advocacy work, co-leading organizing efforts against the fiscal cuts to the cultural field, hosting think tanks and convenings to leverage new policies that recognize the impact of cultural work to the fabric of NYC.
We also cemented our commitment to critical urbanism and welcomed the incubation of Shape of Cities to Come Institute, bringing together diverse city stakeholders to engage in dialogues and reshaping urban narratives.
