Bronx Talk: Bronx Stories

Tired of people who know little about our stories speaking for us? Come up to the Bronx Museum for Bronx Talk: Bronx Stories. It's a public program showcasing stories that are about the Bronx and that have been inspired by artworks in the Museum's exhibitions.

The goals of Bronx Stories are fourfold: to challenge stereotypes about the Bronx and promote positive images of the borough; provide a platform for voices from the community and space for the community to come together; encourage deeper engagement with art; and to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in the Museum.

By telling our stories and listening to stories from different people, places, and times, we can rise above stereotypes and strengthen our community.

Free + Open mic + Refreshments = Good Times
