Subject: Artist and Artifact: Re|Visioning Brooklyn's Past

Artist and Artifact: Re|Visioning Brooklyn's Past explores the relationship between Brooklyn's contemporary cultural heritage with its historical roots. Seven artists, two writers, and one musician were invited to re-interpret Brooklyn's historical tradition through a contemporary lens. Through this exciting initiative, contributors explored the Society's collection for inspiration for original art work. These new works will be exhibited along with the utilized pieces from the BHS collection in an upcoming exhibition at BRIC Rotunda Gallery and BHS.
