The Bronx is Poetry!
Let’s participate and support writing and poetic events held in The Bronx.
Variety just published this adorable article about a 9 year old Bronxite who has a part in the new ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ movie.
April is National Poetry Month and to that end, we’d like to share some words from a Bronx Poet who’s has graced the stages of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, El Museo del Barrio, and the Bronx Museum (among many others) when he’s not walking the halls of justice at Bronx Family Court as an Officer (you can catch him this Thursday, April 24th at the Andrew Freedman Home).
The Bronx is Poetry! that is why I am beyond excited to announce an Open Mic and Chapter book release on April 24th , that will be held in the Bronx at the historical Andrew Freedman home located at 1125 Grand Concourse (Corner of McClellan street) from 7-10pm. Free admittance, $5.00 suggested donation.
Reinaldo Marcus Green’s short film, ‘Stone Cars’, has been selected by the The Cinéfondation of the world renowned Cannes Film Festival. Green’s film is one of 16 to make the list out of 1,631 entries submitted from throughout the globe.
Simply being nominated for the prestigious award is a huge honor and to have a Bronxite in the mix is something we can all be proud of.
April is National Poetry Month so I decided to search for poems on the Bronx. Instead of finding poems, the first thing I came across was this amazing 13 year old girl from the Bronx named Kioni Marshall aka Popcorn.
Check out these two amazing videos that were featured in the Daily News last year:
Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of receiving an invitation to Daniel Hauben’s opening reception at the Andrew Freedman home for his latest exhibition: Expanding Views: The Art of Daniel Hauben.
The exhibition is quite breathtaking as I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing his works up close. The paintings capture the essence of the Bronx so clearly that it is no wonder why Bronx Community College commissioned 22 paintings by Hauben for their new North Hall and Library.
Unfortunately this is isn’t news to Bronx residents and in particular, the people of the South Bronx: Schools located in lower income neighborhoods are severely lacking in Arts Education or do not have any arts-based programs at all.
A new report issued by New York City Comptroller, Scott M. Stringer, shows that The Bronx and Brooklyn account for nearly 50% of schools without an arts program. The report, which identifies schools throughout the city that suffer the same fate is a first step in rectifying the situation.
Just days after Kickstarter made the Bronx Documentary Center’s campaign their project of the day, the BDC has reached it’s $30,000 goal!
Two months ago as the year was just starting, Bronx artist Christopher Estrada launched his first single and video, ‘Music is My Only Love’.
Now he’s done it again with the launch of his latest single and video, ‘I Want More’.
This past Saturday on March 22nd, the Puerto Rican Afro-Boricua rhythms of bomba echoed through the Andrew Freedman Home on the Grand Concourse — played and danced by both teenagers and senior citizens alike.
