We’re ready to take the next step—by establishing a permanent home that will allow us to grow, inspire, and serve our community like never before.

This new space is more than just a building; it's our foundation for the future of our art in Bushwick. Help us make this vision a reality. With your support, we can open the doors to a new era of art and community in Brooklyn for OYE Group. Every dollar brings us closer to securing a space that will be a creative sanctuary for our community and a launchpad for emerging talent.

We will be a part of BAM's Next Wave 2024 & Emerging Visions with Mercedes, Part 1

Mercedes, Part 1, a multidisciplinary documentary, gallery, and healing room installation, brings viewers into a poetic, visually stunning recreation of the Bushwick home where he was raised by his grandmother Mercedes after he arrived from the Dominican Republic. As an adult, Flako served as her main caregiver as she battled dementia, and uncovered years of letters, receipts, and papers that documented her impact on the Latine community. Part of a larger multidisciplinary project, Mercedes, Part 1 unlocks one woman’s home to amplify community outreach, spread the word about mental healthcare resources, and captivate audiences with an immersive story of multigenerational care.
