REIMAGINED IN THE BRONX will unite diverse age groups, emphasizing the transformative power of creating magnificent masterpieces using discarded materials from different settings. Each artist will get the opportunity to tell their story in the form of poetry, song or digital media, then all the stories merged into one message.
Karlene Buckle is a passionate advocate for environmental awareness, dedicated to breathing new life into discarded materials, especially paper. Her mission is to inspire a mindset of creative reimagining and responsible stewardship of our planet, combating the impending environmental crisis. Central to her work is community engagement, especially with families in her school community, through contemporary mixed media art sessions. These collaborations not only foster artistic expression but also nurture environmental consciousness. Beyond environmental efforts, she uses art to provide therapeutic solace to families with special needs, offering a non-verbal outlet for self-discovery and emotional release.
