Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz "Los Machos de Mi Vida"
The Bronx Museum Project Space
This event has ended.
In playing the multiple roles of Puerto Rican, American, wife, daughter, and artist in her daily life, it is no wonder Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz undergoes a familiar undertaking, donning the personalities of every character in her new video performance piece Los Machos de Mi Vida; now on view at the Bronx Museum Project Space through December 20, 2008. Set in the guise of a typical telenovela, Los Machos de Mi Vida not only investigates the perpetuation of Latina stereotypes in the media, but tackles it head-on.
In addition to the video installation, Raimundi-Ortiz will also teach a salsa dance class for Latinas as an exploration of the hierarchy of "Latino-ness" by exposing the varying degrees of ability in dance. The class will take place 4pm every Saturday at the Project Space for the duration of the show.
