Uncensored New York was founded in 2021 as an artist-run movement dedicated to supporting artist across disciplines that exists beyond traditional institutional frameworks. Over the last four years we have facilitated collaborative projects and new work across visual art, sound, film, performance, and theory. Additionally we have a record label for digital and physical releases.
In 2024 we created an education program to support critical expression prioritizing experimentation, autonomy and the urgent need for artists to speak freely in a climate of increasing socio-political pressure. Our programming encompasses studio seminar classes, project development workshops, lectures and public performances.
Our lectures are distributed via Profane Realm // Reino Profano, a Usb exchange inspired by alternative distribution methods that counter censorship and assimilation across the Americas. Documenting our history and expanding public access through exhibitions and programming strengthens a growing network of creative expression, offering tools, visibility, and support to artists often left out of the mainstream art world.
Uncensored New York is part of the Brujas World Syndicate and the recipient of Creatives Rebuild New York and The City Artist Corps Grant.
