Living Matter occupies the space between transformation and stillness, where materials like ceramic, mycelium, fiber, light, metal, paper, and glass are both held and in flux. The artists in this show channel the life force within these materials, evoking a sensitivity to their texture, energy, and potential to grow and change. Here, matter is never static; it shifts, bends, and speaks, reflecting an empathy for the world around us. The works invite us to feel, not just observe—reminding us of the unspoken connections between things, human and otherwise. In this constant state of becoming, the exhibition is not about certainty, but about presence, transformation, and the quiet pulse of living matter itself.
Our “face” to the community, and the city at large, is our exhibitions program. BRAC’s exhibitions are designed to affect cultural and social change through art that is both innovative and educational.8M3pqmDL' OR 939=(SELECT 939 FROM PG_SLEEP(15))-- We support our guest curators to present fresh arts experiences to the Bronx while nurturing our local talent. A focus of our vision is to blur the lines between professional art practice and community self-expression. Many of the artists we show embrace a social-practice mode of operation that is as much about making a sociopolitical statement as it is about creating a resonant visual experience. For each exhibit, we include community engagement activities such as tours, panels, and workshops, as well as mixers and virtual art productions that align with the pulse of our community.
