Bronx Children’s Museum Executive Director and author Denise Adusei Rosario joins Leadlights Ensemble to present a program of music and stories, featuring her children’s book “Cesaria Feels the Beat,” a lyrical and heartfelt story about deafness, community, and Carnival.
Rising in the Heights is a festival of free outdoor public arts performances curated by Leadlights Ensemble in partnership with Word Up Community Bookshop. The festival celebrates the rich artistic contributions of Latinx and Black cultures and promotes children’s literacy through music and bilingual storytelling. Free copies of the featured book will be available.
This project is made possible in part with funds from UMEZ Arts Engagement, supported by the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ); and Creative Engagement, supported by The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) in partnership with the City Council and the Howard Gilman Foundation. UMEZ Arts Engagement and Creative Engagement are administered by LMCC.
Nesting is Natalie’s first solo museum exhibition, curated by Jesse Bandler Firestone
Conceived during the artist’s residency at Sugar Hill Museum and shaped by her experience of pregnancy, Nesting leans into the biological impulse to build, decorate, and protect—a drive shared across species, histories, and homes.
