What Does Art Do For You? A Youth-Centered Conversation About Art And Possibility

By SÍLE MOLONEY

“What does art do for you? A youth-centered conversation about art and possibility,” is a virtual art event taking place on Thursday, April 29, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The event brings together the Bronx Museum Teen Council and Recess: Assembly Peer Leaders to discuss how an arts practice helps us think and move, with and through hope, struggle, and despair. Moderated by artist and assembly co-founder, Shaun Leonardo, the panelists, representing youth of different ages, will share their lived experiences and explore the possibilities of Art.

The conversation will be centered with the prompt: If you had the opportunity to speak to your future self, or yourself when you were younger, what would you ask? Registration is required. Register here.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
