What is “Artist as Citizen”?
You may have heard us use this term to describe the methodology of our education programs, but this idea still guides us today!
The Artist as Citizen is an ethos emerging from Joseph W. Polisi’s more than three-decade tenure as president of the Juilliard School. His ideas on the role of the performing artist as a leader and communicator of human values have informed Waterwell’s mission for over twenty years.

! The New Works Lab began in 2011 with the first commission given to Lebanese-American and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, Stephen Karam. Designed to expand the canon of complex and relevant new plays for young actors representing the full diversity of people in NYC, the New Works Lab offered emerging playwrights the chance to develop their work with the support of professional directors and designers and a cast of exceptionally talented high school artists.

We’re counting down to Stories from the City of Immigrants on April 20th by celebrating some of the narrative projects that made this event possible.

Multicultural arts institution ’s incredible Nueva York Chronicles– a living digital chronotope that maps Latinx presence across time, space, and public life in New York City– brings us the story of Mónica Carrillo. She was forced to leave Peru after denouncing a blackface performance on television, and found community in the Queens-based Latina crochet and embroidery collective BordeAndo, whose work is featured on the first slide!

Mónica’s story will be read by (Punch, Dance Nation) and the interview was conducted by .9. Thank you to for your commitment to recording the essential stories and contributions of New York’s immigrant population!
