In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Bronx Museum of Arts presents “Born in Flames: Feminist Futures,” curated by Jasmine Wahi, Holly Block Curator of Social Justice. From April 28 to September 12, this group exhibition of work by 14 femme-identified and non-binary artists discusses current oppression and ways to create a just and equal environment in the future.

“What can the future hold if our present is part of a long-standing cycle of capitalist values?” The focus of the exhibition is drawn from Lizzie Borden's 1983 feminist film of the same title. Featured artists question capitalism and patriarchy through depicting their vision of the future.
