Principles + Values CV Contact
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.
Kansas Bowling’s Cuddly Toys
Cuddly Toys is a quasi-mockumentary about the horrors and joys of growing up as a young girl in America. Featuring over one hundred actresses and shot entirely on super 16mm film, Cuddly Toys is an ambitious, satirical, and unconventional exploitation success in the vein of early John Waters with influences ranging from the gritty, riot grrrl sensibilities of Sarah Jacobson to the tongue-in-cheek artistry of Andy Warhol’s Factory films disguised as a 1970s afterschool special about the bizarre, the gory, and traumatic secrets behind the innocence of girlhood.
