Co-Lab is an interdisciplinary residency program intended to deepen local exposure to dance, celebrate the borough’s rich legacy with choreography, and foster connections to up-and-coming talent. For their open studio series, BxMA Co-Lab dance resident Zavé Martohardjono and visual artist Shani Peters will showcase their collaborative project. The  project explores lived political resistance in the body through dance, as well as considers shared cultural spaces as sites for release, joy, affirmation, self-care, and self-reflection.

Join exhibiting artist Ivan Velez for a special Bronx Haiku Drink N Draw featuring great artists, live model monsters to draw accompanied by music and videos.

open | close | open is designed as an interactive piece, a game, a meditation for two. The artist, Milcah Bassel, invites you to come play on October 1 (2-6pm). Bassel’s 79 small square ceramic vessels constitute game pieces in a moveable grid, representing organs in the human body. The title is lifted from a poem by Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai, that reflects on states of being open/closed/open during pre-birth/life/death.

Please be advised that open | close | open is only available to be touched when artist is present.

Can photography change how we see our surroundings? What comprises a beautiful photograph? How can photography and history interrelate?

Join RIPA's selected 2017 FLOW artist Rose DeSiano to address these questions, and take some photographs of your own! We'll meet on Randall's Island Connector at 2:00pm to learn about this year's FLOW art pieces, discuss some of Randall's Island's history, and talk about photographic composition and story-telling. Bring your camera or camera phone (RIPA will also offer a few Polaroid cameras to borrow for the event) and spend the afternoon capturing Island images that you can take home with you. We hope you'll return throughout the year to continue your photographic journey on Randall's Island.

Free admission.  All ages welcome!

The FLOW art series is planned in conjunction with the Randall's Island Park Alliance, the Bronx Museum and the New York Department of Parks and Recreation.
