The Seventh AIM Biennial: Forms of Connection

Twenty-eight emerging artists from the Bronx Museum's 2024–2025 AIM Fellowship cohorts explore connection across heritage, society, and intimacy.

Why go

The exhibition demonstrates how the museum functions as a connective site for community formation, while the 28 participating artists—selected through competitive open call—map intersections of isolation and belonging across three fluid curatorial sections addressing heritage, social critique, and identity.

What to expect

Mixed-media installations and artworks organized in three overlapping thematic sections exploring connection to heritage, society, and other individuals; the show extends through September 2026 and includes concurrent programming with exhibiting artists.
