ART
Exhibition – David Flores:
Nueva Bronx: During August
and September 2018,
artist David Flores offered
free family portraiture in the
Bronx’s Railroad Park and
the greater Morrisania neighborhood,
with on-site photography,
printing, display
and digital sharing. According
to Flores, this project is
a response to “recent nationalist
movements that have attempted
to remove and erase
familial representations of
immigrants and people of
color.” Parents, children, elders,
extended family and
friends all participated in the
making of formal images and
left with a large-format print
