superreal: alternative realities in photography and video
Sunday, May 19, 2013
Las Galerías
Admission: Fees Vary 

El Museo will stay open on Sunday, May 19 for the final day of superreal: alternative realities in photography and video!
 
superreal explores the layered meanings and interpretations of the real as it is represented in photography and video art. Drawing on the presentation of the landscape, the human figure, the world of architecture, various objects and natural phenomena, these images explore alternative realities despite their use of the photographic or video image, traditionally understood as a reflection of actuality. superreal features works that challenge the notion of the camera's lens as presenting visual accuracy and explores the subversion of narrative form, the creation of a parallel reality, surreal or super-real encounters with objects, people and environments.

  AROUND EL BARRIO  

FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD UP: A CITYWIDE FORUM ON CULTURE AND COMMUNITY

 

Thursday, May 30 

El Museo del Barrio and
El Barrio community sites 

11:00am - 7:00pm

 

NOCD-NY invites you to join a citywide forum to develop a vision for NYC that is grounded in the cultural vitality and social networks that make our communities strong. The forum will draw on two key ideas. First, it will honor that, as Wendell Berry wrote,"What we need is here." Every neighborhood has powerful assets to contribute to a resilient and thriving New York City. Second, it will recognize our interdependence, bringing us together to develop collaborative strategies to engage our City's opportunities and inequities.
