Musezine 42: Made Out of Stardust “...We are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all of the molecules of the Earth, and we are atomically connected to all of the atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson This year we chose the theme “Made Out of Stardust” for our zine. In this era of divisiveness, we choose to embrace our differences and celebrate what we all have in common. Throughout this year, we have reflected on the impact of racial injustice and women’s inequality in particular, and how we can actively engage in eradicating discrimination. This zine contains original paintings, drawings, poems, and photography created by the members of Teen Council. Created in 2005, the Bronx Museum Teen Council offers dynamic experiences with contemporary art and culture to urban youth through an intensive afterschool program for teens. Structured around video production, artist interviews, zine publications, and exhibition curation, this 8-month program provides teens with an open forum for the expression of idea and dialogue on issues affecting young people today. 2017-2018 Teen Council Aisha Conte, Britney Cruz, Jennifer Hernandez, Aisha Howie, Neil Jimenez, Aameer Johnson, Daljah Lewis, Valeria Martinez, Andrea Morales, William Perez,Laura Planas, Laura Rodriguez, and Victor Valle.
