There has been a series of articles about the South Bronx art scene written over the last years and they talk about the South Bronx art world as if all were one homogeneous art district. How does the “outside” world perceives the art production versus what goes on in the South Bronx? What is the perspective of local artists? Is there such a thing as an art community? Various artists and cultural producers tackle these and other questions in the first of the Hubs and Spokes Conversations Series.
This conversation is in part a response to the following article:
