Musezine 29 Art Connected

Created in 2005, the Bronx Museum Teen Council offers opportunities for young people to engage deeply with contemporary art and the museum space.

In this intensive paid after-school program, teens express and discuss ideas and create art relating to issues affecting young people today.

The artworks included were created in direct response to the themes explored in the exhibition Bronx Calling: The Fifth AIM Biennial.

Co-curated by Ian Cofre (Director, PS 122 Gallery) and Eva Mayhabal Davis (Co-Director, Transmitter), the fifth edition of Bronx Calling considers the multiple crises of health, grief, the environment, and identity that define our contemporary moment.
