The Bronx Council on the
Arts presents the exhibition
‘The Update,’ from Wednesday,
January 8, 2020 to Wednesday,
February 26, 2020 at the Longwood
Art Gallery @ Hostos.
‘The Update,’ curated by Kiara
Ventura of Artsy Window,
showcases works by Bronx
artists of now that blend their
personal experiences, the infl
uence of street culture, and
the rich history behind them
to create original works of
art in a variety of media and
styles.
‘The Update’ brings together
10 Bronx artists of
color under 30, whose works
are experimental, radical, and
unorthodox with respect to
art, culture, or society. This
new generation is actively refl
ecting on Bronx’ street culture,
fashion, aesthetic, and
history, yet updating it with
a true and groundbreaking
vision. Blurring lines in the
contemporary art world, the
works also comment on the
history of abstract painting,
conceptual sculpture, photo
and video journalism, documentary
work, street art, textile
art, and printmaking to
create something new.
Through various media,
including photography,
video, painting, sculpture,
and mixed media, the artists
collectively demonstrate how
their identity, culture, and native
borough play a key role
in shaping their visual narratives.
By referring to infl uences
of native BX styles, their
work also continues to comment
on timely local issues affecting
The Bronx, including
issues of displacement, gentrifi
cation, street violence, and
economic struggle.
Participating artists include
Audreamia Wardlow,
Dillon Gardner, Estelle Maisonett,
Mark Malave, Monica
Flores, Patrick Alston, Rocio
Marie Cabrera, Ron Baker,
Sorinn Lillico, and Stanley
Steel. Kiara Cristina Ventura
