EL CONSULADO celebrates the public presentation of The Plastic Sea, a large-scale participatory installation by Venezuelan interdisciplinary artist Frahydel Falczuk, as part of NYC DOT Art’s Car-Free Earth Day 2026. Part of the 56th anniversary of Earth Day and will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., transforming streets across all five boroughs into spaces for environmental programming, public art, performance, and collective action.

Its first large-scale construction took place in the days leading up to the opening of EL CONSULADO, during the ChaShaMa residency. That moment marked a key transition for the work. Moving from Roosevelt Island into Manhattan, The Plastic Sea was carried, assembled, and activated with the participation of EL CONSULADO members, becoming part of the collective’s inaugural public experience.

EL CONSULADO, a New York-based collective of Venezuelan artists, presents KIOSKO, a three-day pop-up exhibition and community gathering hosted by the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (EFA). Following its landmark debut at NADA Miami 2025, KIOSKO will feature work by 47 Venezuelan contemporary artists and performers across media. Over the course of the weekend the exhibition will be a site for gathering, musical performances, and critical dialogues & live Zoom panel and Q&A with Caracas-based artists.

The pop-up unfolds at a moment of heightened reflection for Venezuelans, prompting renewed conversations around memory, responsibility, and the role of cultural practice in shaping collective understanding. KIOSKO offers a space for gathering & exchange, foregrounding dialogue around artistic practices.

Works presented during the pop-up will be available for purchase, supporting the artists and future initiatives by the collective.
