CLOSING: Artists Alliance Inc. Presents Javier Castro: Open Wounds (Dec 14 - Mar 11)
2023-03-11 12:00 - 18:00 | Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, Inside Essex Market, 88 Essex St #21, New York, NY, 10002, United States
Through a series of videos, installations, documents, and sculptures, Afro-Cuban artist Javier Castro’s solo exhibition Open Wounds questions the broken promises of a postcolonial world. While many of the practices at the center of the work on view draw directly from the artist’s experiences with the island, the larger exhibition interrogates methods of manipulation embedded within prevalent social structures, including language, economic power, and religion. The show is the artist’s most personal contemplation of the social foundations that underlie our intimate and communal relationships, and the oppression, grief, and injustice that they represent within Black communities.

DEADLINE: FABnyc Extended Open Call for Artist Proposals
2023-03-18 | NY
OPEN CALL
NYC’s Lower East Side has always been shaped by the history and presence of Black communities. Yet for most New Yorkers, these histories are hidden or unacknowledged.

The creation of the Chrystie Street African Burial Ground by the African Society after the Chambers Street burial ground was closed, the early legacies of ‘half freedom’ and Black land ownership, the African Free Schools of the 18th century, the mixed-race dance halls on the Bowery, and the impact of the Draft Riots are central narratives for building a true understanding of the Lower East Side and New York City. These stories require new and creative methods for being shared with the general public.
As part of this effort, FABnyc is issuing an open call to artists to create an art installation at M’Finda Kalunga Community Garden to memorialize the Chrystie Street African Burial Ground. Learn more at: http://www.fabnyc.org/callforburialground/

Deadline for submission: Saturday, March 18, 2023 (midnight)
