This project builds on a 3-year engagement process of learning and listening to the needs of local #Bronxcreatives and cultural workers. In continuing our collaboration with Bronx-based partners, this space will serve as a creative home where local artists can expand their creative and cultural practices and grow their community initiatives. Says Raul R. Rivera, Spaceworks' Bronx-based Community & Engagement Manager, "It's rewarding to see relationships grow, from artists working hard to find space, to building space, to working with artists operating their own studios in their own communities.” Some of the Local Artists and Partners Vitalizing the Space with their Practices and Projects include: BxArts Factory @bxartsfactory Milteri Tucker Concepcion / Bombazo Dance Co. @bombazodanceco Nina Angela Mercer Ocean Ana Rising, Inc. @stillnina_love Sage Rivera Concepscion Productions Peggy Robles-Alvarado Robleswrites Productions @robleswrites Seyi Adebanjo @seyiadebanjo Natasha Johnson Globalizing Gender @daily_n_spiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoFA38BWnLtXTCahDSnIObWU7BH0D4rLMIT5Y0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mqex1c5pth9j
