Artwork by Bayeté Ross Smith
Uptown Triennial 2023 is a visual arts tribute to the sonic world—in the realms of music, soundscapes, and spoken word—that resonates with the spirit of Harlem. The Triennial was originally conceived in 2017 as a survey of works by artists who live or practice north of 99th Street in Manhattan. The 2023 edition expands on the original conception with work by 22 studio, media, post-graffiti, interdisciplinary, and performing artists, from both upper Manhattan and beyond, whose work engages with the sonic inspirations of Harlem’s myriad histories, cultures, and pressing contemporary issues.
