Artist Talk: Píntame Angelitos Negros
Wednesday, November 13th, 2024 | 6:30pm
Join us for an artist talk where Rose Deler will discuss her installation, “Píntame Angelitos Negros,” the 2024 selection for the Art on the Audubon Terrace in partnership with the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA). The conversation will be moderated by the Executive Director of NoMAA, Dr. Niria E. Leyva-Gutiérrez.
This art installation, “Píntame Angelitos Negros” is inspired by the poem of the same name written by the Venezuelan poet Andrés Eloy Blanco, made famous by Mexican singer Pedro Infante. Deler grew up listening to his records, which her dad frequently played on his record player. She immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic as a baby, and growing up, she did not feel Dominican or American. Listening to this song as a child made her aware that she was not alone in questioning where she was in this American life. This installation will consist of 999 white ceramic angels and a single black ceramic angel, all evenly spaced and attached by wire to the gate on Audubon Terrace. Deler hopes viewers take the time to find that one black angel.
