The Bronx Council on the Arts (BCA) is seeking applications from NYC curators for its Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos Winter 2023 exhibition, Untold Narratives. This group exhibition, featuring 8 to 10 artists, will focus on artworks created by artists of Middle Eastern, African, and Asian backgrounds/descents. Bringing to life intimate stories, the exhibition seeks to offer a glimpse into the artists’ communities and explore connections between the past and present. This includes but is not limited to topics that:
- Engage with personal or family histories
- Intertwine cultural background and the life of the city
- Question how historical objects and ideas are presented and hierarchized
- Challenge the dominant narrative of (art) history
- Delve into the struggles for equity
- Examine representation and cultural identity
