Panel with the Artists:
Resilient Roots: Ecofeminism in Video Performance
April 15th, 2025 at 6pm
 |
Join us for Resilient Roots, an online panel hosted by the Bronx River Art Center, on April 15 at 6 PM (EST). This conversation brings together artists and curators whose work engages with ecofeminism through critical and experimental perspectives. Natacha Voliakovsky, Argentine queer Performance Artist and activist, will also join the panel.
Exploring themes of sustainability, interspecies relationships, and curatorial models that challenge extractivist structures, the panel will examine how roots—both literal and symbolic—serve as metaphors for resistance, community, and regeneration in the face of environmental crises.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the intersection of art, ecology, and social justice. Register here.
Curated by Alexandra Trujillo Tamayo
Resilient Roots will be on view through April 18, 2025
Featured Artists: Maya Ponce, Regina José Galindo, Alexia Miranda, Rocío Soria, Alexandra Moshenek, Tzitzi Barrantes
