Premiere of Boogie on the Boulevard

I had the privilege of overseeing a notable social practice project focused on fostering community engagement. This initiative allowed me to leverage my passion for connecting individuals, providing an avenue for both Broxites and visitors to partake in an innovative street festival. Spanning three Sundays in August, the event transformed the center lanes of the Grand Concourse, reminiscent of the Champs Elysee, between 165th and 167th Streets—a stretch covering four city blocks—from 10 am to 2 pm. As the Curatorial Project Head, I collaborated with 88 arts/cultural organizations, civic and health agencies, independent artists, and creative work groups to curate a diverse lineup of participants. The Bronx Museum of the Arts, in partnership with the Department of Transportation and Transportation Alternatives, played a pivotal role in orchestrating this impactful community-building endeavor.
