On Saturday May 12th, Hostos Community College, Bronx Lebanon Hospital, and Bill Aguado are inviting everyone to the reveal of, “Conversing Bricks”, an art installation by Hatuey Ramos-Fermin. The project materialized after anti immigrant groups launched a campaign where they sent bricks to members of Congress who opposed the construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico. Several hundred bricks were collected out of the thousands sent to Congress to complete this project.
OPEN is shot LIVE from BronxNet's studios and invites viewers to participate through phone or email. The show builds on the station's mission to provide useful information to the Bronx public, while helping young adults develop media careers.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday OPEN helps Bronx community organizations share information about issues and services, give exposure to artists working in various media, showcase video art, provide a forum for discussion and debate, and updates viewers about what's happening in the Bronx and beyond.
