"Bronx Faces is a collaborative community art project that pairs the stories and experiences of Bronx natives with a personalized mixed media portrait. This information was gathered through an open call with a fixed selection of questions for Bronx natives of varying backgrounds and generations about oneās experience in the borough. The interview answers are paired with a mixed media portrait of the interviewed Bronxite for a complete 'Bronx Face.'" Swipe ā¬ ļø Reposted from @BRONXFACES Nilka/1975/Soundview āI absolutely love the Bronx and I want everyone to know that we are so much more than the home of the Yankees, the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden. The Bronx is NYC's only mainland borough, the home to NYC's only fresh water river, the Bronx River, home to NYC's largest public park, Pelham Bay Park, we are the birthplace of Hip Hop, 1520 Sedgwick, the place where the Piccirilli Brothers set shop and carved the NYPL's iconic lions and Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. We were the forgotten borough, where people chose to stay, fight, rebuild, reclaim and became the very change they sought out.ā Made with chipboard, gessoed Canson mixed media paper, acrylic paint, oil paint, bicycle tires, ribbon, and plastic. 18.5x20.5.ā 2019. (*Zoom in to find: 1520, The Bronx outline, and multiple Xs. #TheBronx #NewExhibition #ArtistsReception #MixedMedia #BronxNatives #BronxArtsFactory #BXArtsFactory #ArtAndTheCity #BronxGirl #TheBoogieDown #TheBX #TraScapades #BlackGirlArtGeeksš¤ #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EZyVUgE_C/?igshid=16xzyj307qyb8
