Michele Brody has been working with BRAC since 2010. She received her BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 1989 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1994. Utilizing her strong background in the liberal arts, Michele creates site-specific, mixed-media installations and works of public art that are generated by the history, culture, environment, and architecture of a wide range of exhibition spaces. While living and working in such places as France, Costa Rica, California, the Midwest, Germany, and her home of New York, her art career has developed into a process of working in collaboration with each new community as a means towards developing an interpretation of the sense of a place as an outsider looking in. Michele has recently had exhibitions of her work at The Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Julio Valdez Project Space in Harlem, and she also recently worked as as an artist in residence at the Wave Hill Winter Workspace.

David Cavaliero's work investigates how external referents can inform one’s sense of self. This series began by strategically manipulating mirrors to explore the dominant role a viewer's perspective plays in forming self-awareness and identity. With surfaces interrupted by text, symbols, or material obfuscation, mirrors prompt an inquiry of the border between reality and illusion, flatness and volume, and the way we mentally document space and self-perception. The revelation of the mirror-object’s malleability exposes the mind’s capacity to present a mental and physical self-identity as informed by something outside of the self.

Lili Chin is an artist based in New York City. Combining installation, video and sculpture, her practice focuses on nature and architecture to explore rituals in time, bridging contemporary and ancient ideas that investigate themes of memory, duration and spirituality. Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest USA and Singapore, her diverse background shapes her ephemeral impression of the world through raw materials and film to reveal a fragile search for the quotidian sublime.

Maya Ciarrocchi is a Canadian-American artist whose work excavates vanished and inaccessible histories, themes embedded in her Ashkenazi ancestry and Queer identity. Her previous career as a dancer/choreographer and theatrical designer allowed her to work across disciplines, from site-specific performance to large-scale projections in traditional and experimental theatrical venues. These past experiences inform Ciarrocchi's post-disciplinary studio practice, which includes mixed-media, alternative-process photography, video, and movement-based performance. By combining personal and historical narratives with spatial and embodied mapping, Ciarrocchi uncovers buried pasts and highlights how these erasures are felt in the present. The resulting two-dimensional, time-based, and performative investigations construct new, fantastical spaces from the residue of loss.

Mieyoshi Ragernoir is a Harlem-born painter and mixed-media installation artist. Mieyoshi creates celebratory paintings archiving the connections of people, heritage, and joy; predominantly portraits highlighting the radiance of Black femininity.

As a Harlem native who grew up in the West Bronx, the vibrant styles, languages, and essence of both communities heavily influence and shape Ragernoir's artwork. In 2022, Mieyoshi Ragernoir received her MFA in Michigan, building upon her BFA in Painting earned from Pratt Institute in 2019.
