Uncensored New York is an art movement dedicated to producing, distributing and preserving contemporary art, music, film and education. Our focus is on creating an environment where all walks of life can grow and get support for artistic endeavors. 

We work with film-makers, musicians, artists, venues and organizations to develop creative projects, events and public programming. Over the last four years Uncensored New York has distributed films and music, developed an education program offering classes, lectures and mentorship both on and offline and curated exhibitions, book releases, live performances and art fairs. 

Our lectures + discussions are distributed via Profane Realm // Reino Profano, a Usb exchange inspired by alternative distribution methods that counter censorship and assimilation across the Americas. It promotes a free exchange that emphasizes real-life relationships and bypasses the filters imposed by our current media infrastructure. For example, consider researching ‘El Paquete Semanal’ in Cuba.

We’ve organized programming in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, St. Louis and Philadelphia at Printed Matter Chelsea, John Giorno Foundation, Ki Smith Gallery, Public Works Administration, Whammy! Los Angeles, PhilaMOCA, The Broad Theater, Rockaway Art Week + more. 

Uncensored New York is part of the Brujas World Syndicate and the recipient of Creatives Rebuild New York and The City Artist Corps Grant.

Jonathan Rosado’s 
Brutalist Couture


Brutalist Couture directed by Jonathan Rosado is a personal meditation on the American Neo-Noir genre, shot entirely on Super 8mm film. The film follows Hieronymus Rivera (Jonathan Rosado), a strong force in the New York fashion underground, who is offered the deal of a lifetime by Cecilia Meadows (Jessica Shepherd), a government official who is the head of a new secret program called DAFTCA.

Brutalist Couture has private snuff film undertones and a soundtrack reminiscent of 60s counter-culture filled with psychedelic mind control and deranged acid washed groupies. Rosado was inspired by the 1970’s film Spaces in the Place by Sun-Ra and the classified CIA program MKUltra.
