Reconstruct Art opened a new show last week, "Audacity!" at Chashama's gallery in Jamaica, Queens. Founded by Sister Betty, a local female artist of color suffering from pulmonary hypertension, the show aims to educate the public about this medical condition and to raise money for research and treatment.
The multimedia show includes visual art, music, panel talks, an ongoing silent auction for art and handmade items (like hand-bound books). Works by more than a dozen artists are present. The opening included a group discussion hosted by the director of Beth Israel Medical Center's Pulmonary Unit, Dr. Roxana Sulica.
