Musezine 21
Designed to make contemporary art and culture accessible to urban youth, the Teen Council is structured around the production of MuseCasts, video podcasts available on YouTube, and MuseZines, a graphic publication of original work and commentary, by a small group of high school students working closely with instructors in the Media Lab. Wild Noise is a joint collaboration between the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and The Bronx Museum of the Arts, and it is the most extensive cultural exchange between Cuba and the United States in over five decades. The exhibition is the product of three years of research and numerous travels between Havana and New York— time during which the curatorial team discussed the role of museums vis-àvis the communities they serve. Since its founding in 1971, The Bronx Museum of the Arts has played a vital role in making art accessible to local residents through extensive education programs like the Teen Council, which over the next two years will collaborate with a group of youths in Havana. Bronx Museum Teen Council creates MuseZines every year. This year’s zine includes our own creative work, as well as artwork made by teens from El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Instituto Pre- Universitario José Martí and Academia San Alejandro in Havana, Cuba. You’ll find quotes throughout the zine from the collaborative exchange we did this winter and spring. We were surprised to discover how much we have in common!

Created in 2005, The Bronx<br />
Museum Teen Council makes<br />
contemporary art and culture<br />
accessible to urban youth<br />
through a series of different<br />
platforms. Structured around the<br />
production of MuseCasts, video<br />
productions and MuseZines, (a<br />
small magazine), Teen Council<br />
is comprised of a group of<br />
high school students working<br />
closely with two instructors<br />
in the Museum’s Media Lab.<br />
Scheduled concurrently with<br />
the school year, this 8-month<br />
program provides teens with an<br />
open forum for the expression<br />
of ideas and dialogue on issues<br />
affecting young people, and the<br />
promotion of the Bronx as an<br />
important cultural, political and<br />
artistic force. For more details,<br />
