Cross Bronx/Living Legend
On view until November 9th
The Bronx River Art Center is proud to showcase Cross Bronx/Living Legend, an exhibition that reconsiders one of New York City’s most contested infrastructures through new photography and oral histories that focus on the experience of the people and places alongside it. The story of the Cross Bronx has long been told as a saga of governments and powerful men, destruction, disconnection, and congestion. But behind these sweeping narratives are the everyday lives of the people who call the corridor home. In neighborhoods like Highbridge, West Farms, Crotona Park, and Parkchester, residents have long contended with the highway’s indisputable harms – displacement, asthma, noise, and barriers that cut across community life. Yet alongside anger and struggle are joy, pride, and love of neighbors.
Rather than retelling the story of the highway itself, Cross Bronx/Living Legend is a story of people and place. Through new images of the corridor by Bronx-based photographer Abigail Montes, audio excerpts from conversations with dozens of Bronx residents, and never-exhibited historical materials, Cross Bronx/Living Legend presents a picture of the corridor as one continually in the making. As new visions for its future take shape, the boldest possibilities can not be dictated from the perspective of the highway, but must come from the expertise, hopes, and imaginations of the communities who live with it every day.

Cross Bronx Neighborhood Spotlight
West Farms Spotlight
Saturday, November 8 from 11am - 1pm
FREE EVENT
Explore Cross Bronx neighborhoods on a West Farms walking tour! The West Farms neighborhood, home to Bronx River Art Center, has long been shaped by industry, infrastructure, and the presence of the Cross Bronx Expressway.
Join the Department of City Planning and local leaders for a guided walking tour that explores how industry and homes coexist, the past and present of the Bronx River, and the vibrant East Tremont commercial corridor. Participants will also gain insight into the lived realities of the Cross Bronx in the community, past and present, and imagine what the future might hold for this vibrant neighborhood.
The walk will begin at the Cross Bronx/Living Legend exhibition at BRAC.
