About

How can we learn from science and nature to improve our lives in community?

Common Frequencies brings together a group of cross-disciplinary Mexican artists whose work meets at the intersection of art and science, and explores the relationship between these two disciplines through sound, urban ecology, language, and the construction of collective imageries.

The artists—working across performance, installation, photography, sound, and drawing—are inspired by resonance, mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and take these phenomena as the basis for the invention of mechanisms that give voice to nature.

Approaching these concepts from an artistic viewpoint in a more accessible context, like an exhibition, will offer the Sunset Park community the opportunity to engage in a critical dialogue that emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary practices towards invention and the creation of new collaborative systems.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of free bilingual programs that aim to engage the local community in discussions that will allow for the participation of families, young adults, and children.

Common Frequencies plans to be a platform for artistic and scientific research and a common-ing space to develop connections with the local community in Sunset Park and the wider NYC area. Visit the exhibition's official website for more information.
