Growing a Green Heart

Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo

This collaborative exhibition experience connects participants with the nature around and within them through a series of artistic exercises in and around the Bronx. While most of these experiences are place-based, many of the exercises and reflections can be done wherever you are. On this page, you can engage with video artwork, listen to a conversation between NDERE and Dr. Renee Lertzman, download a self-guided meditation you can take with you to any spot where you’ll encounter a tree, pause and hum like a bee, or engage with other experiences created in and around the Bronx.
