Inspired by our borough’s resilience and innovation, which birthed global artistic phenomenon like Hip-Hop and Salsa, we believe in continuing a legacy of indigenous artistic creation and education while making it accessible across local, national, and international borders. For this reason we sought members who include educators, writers, organizers, performers, activists, artists, and emcees who are dedicated to keeping the Bronx in the hands of Bronx natives.

Project X strengthens the creative and community essence of the Bronx through regular collaborations with artists and organizations. Culturally entrenched in Latinidad yet invested in the artistic expression of all people, we are intergenerational and intersectional at our core. Project X curates the borough’s first monthly Slam Series to represent ourselves at national competitions. Through the Slam Series Project X provides guidance and skills to team members to sustain their poetic vocation.
