Alex Strada is a New York City-based interdisciplinary artist whose socially engaged work reimagines systems of power and creates platforms for collectivity and transformation. Working across sculpture and installation, video, photography, archives, and public practice, her projects are often long-term, unfolding through sustained collaborations that guide both their process and form. LEARN MORE>> Katherine Miranda (they/he) is a Latinx, non-binary multidisciplinary artist born, raised and based in The Bronx. Utilizing objects collected from their family, community and the Earth, Miranda creates ancestral images and artifacts that honor their familial, communal and ancestral histories. Their belief that our histories hold the key to reimagining our futures acts as a constant guide in their practice. LEARN MORE>> Suede is a lens-based conceptual artist born and raised in the South Bronx. He began his artistic journey following the passing of his father, Charles, which led Suede to leave the corporate world he had felt forced to enter after graduating college. Suede’s practice focuses on documenting both urban and rural life to recreate engaging visual stories that highlight art, creatives of color, and cultural phenomena. LEARN MORE>>
