Exhibition Info
THIS I BELIEVE is planned, promoted, designed, and judged entirely by media-savvy high school students as part of the BRIC Youth Curatorial Fellowship Program.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Life is full of paradoxes. We live in a dystopian world where a watermelon filter is our only hope. People only take risks when they are completely safe. We aim to take over the space around us. We aim to take these risks, and we aim to enact change. We don’t want to waste potential. We don’t want neurological abstractions, algorithms, and academics. How much of your life can you describe in paragraphs, rather than statistics? What do YOU believe in, throughout all the stages of your life?

About BRIC Youth Education
For over three decades, BRIC has been a pioneer in providing exceptional art education to public school students throughout Brooklyn. BRIC’s Youth Education program is distinguished by the involvement of professional artists and media makers, who bring their individual professional practices into the classroom via in-school residencies that introduce new ways of learning through a project-based approach. Programs are tailored to the needs of each individual classroom and aligned to local and state educational standards. For more information, please email [email protected].
BRIC House is Brooklyn’s cultural living room: a 40,000 square foot multi-disciplinary arts and media complex where emerging and established artists can create work that deepens their practice and engages the diverse communities of the borough.
