Outdoor performance of Miguel Luciano's "Pimp my Piragua" Saturday, April 30, 2:00pm Pimp my Piragua is a tricked-out customization of the humble pushcart from which piraguas, or Puerto Rican shaved ice, are served on the island and in locations with large Caribbean populations, such as New York City. Building on this inspiration and that of Nuyorican street culture, Luciano developed a tricycle-pushcart featuring flat screen video monitors, LED lights, and a high-powered sound system, while maintaining full functionality. During a campus-based performance on April 30, Luciano will activate Pimp my Piragua, and visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artist and experience his mobile art project.
