Join us for the first in a three-part series of conversations with Studio K.O.S. (Kids of Survival). At this special event, learn about the evolution of Studio K.O.S., a collective of artists who are continuing the legacy of the late Tim Rollins and the K.O.S., whose collaborative approach to making art began in the Bronx in the 1980s. The artwork that resulted from their collaborations can be seen today in over 120 museums and public collections worldwide including Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences (CPNAS), the Museum of Modern Art, The Tate Modern, and the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Studio K.O.S. consists of Angel Abreu, Jorge Abreu, Robert Branch, and Nelson Ricardo Savinon, original members who have remained active for more than 30 years. They are dedicated to the mission of empowering young people through exposure to art and literature. At this intimate conversation, all four members will reflect on the evolution of the collective.
