El Consulado

EL CONSULADO by Pachanga 

A Living Installation of Migration & Belonging

El Consulado is an evolving, participatory installation that serves as a bridge between displacement and belonging. Through visual art, video, performance, live music, soundscapes, and interactive workshops, we explore migration, resilience, and collective memory, inviting the community to reimagine identity and cultural connection.

PACHANGA is a Venezuelan immigrants arts collective based in New York, formed in response to the lack of cultural representation for Venezuelan artists in the U.S. Our project El Consulado, transforms an empty space into a symbolic cultural embassy—not as an institution, but as a welcoming, living environment that evokes a sense of home.

Come raise the flag of art, memory, and shared belonging.
