Thursday, October 6, 2022 | 6:00 - 8:00 PM In partnership with the 60th New York Film Festival, The Bronx Museum presents a free screening of Drylongso directed by Cauleen Smith. Smith’s 1998 feature debut, a landmark in American independent cinema, follows Pica (Toby Smith), a woman in a photography class in Oakland, as she begins photographing young Black men of her neighborhood, having witnessed so many of them fall victim to senseless murder and fearing the possibility of their becoming extinct altogether. An enduringly rich work of DIY filmmaking, Drylongso remains a resonant and visionary examination of violence (and its reverberations), friendship, and gender. A Janus Films release. 4K restoration undertaken by The Criterion Collection, Janus Films and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Supervised by Director Cauleen Smith. The NYFF60 Revivals presentation of Drylongso is sponsored by Turner Classic Movies. Ticket quantities are limited. Check-in begins at 5:15 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm.

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 | 6:00 - 8:00 PM Music by DJ Ultraviolet with sound support from engineer Karl Scholz and special galactic-inspired desserts by Sarah K. Williams. Spanning over a decade of work, Abigail DeVille: Bronx Heavensexamines the myths and realities of local, familial and ancestral histories and the convoluted notion of freedom in a country fraught with oppression and racism. This survey features DeVille’s rarely exhibited earlier works as well as new large-scale immersive installations and sculptures that transform the galleries into a cosmic space—taking us on a journey from the ancient past to an imagined future. The Bronx has served as a sanctuary for immigrant and migrant communities, including for the artist and several generations of her family who have lived in the area and were part of the Great Migration. DeVille’s work unearths forgotten narratives of communities of color and explores issues of identity, culture, and class. Image: Abigail DeVille, Ova the Rainbow, 2009.

On view through Sunday, October 2, 2022 (extended)Starting at the young age of fifteen, Brooklyn born photographer Jamel Shabazz identified early on the core subject of his lifelong investigation: the people who invest the streets of New York with a high degree of theater and style, mixing traditions and cultures. A formidable archive of New York’s communities in the outer boroughs, this exhibition pays homage to Shabazz’s illustrious career of over forty years documenting the vibrant interaction of New Yorkers with their neighborhoods.
