Join us for the final installations, performances, and presentations of our fourth year of EMERGENYC, the Hemispheric New York Emerging Performers Program. As a part of the Institute’s Hemispheric New York initiative, the Emerging Performers Program aims to support the development of emerging New York-based artists whose work functions as a vehicle for political expression and social change, and who examine the broad range of identities, practices and histories of the Americas (the western hemisphere, thus “hemispheric”) through genres such as spoken word, street performance, political cabaret, performance art, video performance, movement, and others. www.emergenyc.org
