their common heritage, but also their mission: to produce cutting-edge,
inter-disciplinary contemporary work that reflects the needs, longings and
uncertainty of the cross-cultural society in which we live. Thus, AENY aims to
bring together Spanish artists in all disciplines to examine the overlaps,
collisions, similarities and differences between Spanish tradition and modern
New York culture, and to create a mutually enriching artistic dialog between
the two countries.
