The Media Used for Justice Equity and Respect (M.U.J.E.R.) Pivot program at the Loisaida Center brings a unique opportunity for emerging or pre-emergent creators, artists, media enthusiasts, makers/inventors, entrepreneurs, and creatives to learn about independent media production, how to share personal stories, how to develop strategic messaging, scriptwriting, video editing, film, and more.
Participants are chosen through an application process; applications are reviewed by a committee of fellow artists, professionals, educators, counselors, and community leaders.
In the past, the program has been facilitated by local filmmaker Eden Martinez, and this year we have award-winning actress, producer, and choreographer María Torres as the program director.

LA COCINA DE LOISAIDA - Essex Market and Loisaida, Inc. present a series of cooking seminars led by Chef María Bido |
|
In this month's class on Wednesday, June 15th, we're taking a trip down memory lane with some of our favorite foods from when we were niños pequeños. These dishes will satisfy all your sweet and savory desires!
The class will be approximately 1.5 hours long and include time to savor the dishes you prepare together as a group. La Cocina de Loisaida takes place in the Essex Kitchen — Essex Market's demonstration and teaching kitchen located on the market's mezzanine level.
La Cocina de Loisaida is a series of monthly hands-on cooking classes where we celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Puerto Rican cuisine. Longtime Lower East Side resident and local caterer María Bido shares the recipes and techniques passed down by her abuela — all based in authentic Puerto Rican flavors and ingredients from Essex Market.
This series is presented in partnership with Essex Market with the collective mission to preserve and pass down culinary heritage from the Lower East Side community. We invite all ages and abilities to join us for these unique, fun, and celebratory cooking classes at Essex Market.
