RDACBX Programming at Bronx Music Heritage Center Lab (BMHC)

After losing their historic warehouse space-turned Hip-Hop community center this past February, Bronx-based arts collective RDACBX has found a temporary home at the Bronx Music Heritage Center Lab (BMHC) storefront at 1303 Louis Niñe Blvd.

"Although we are still actively seeking a permanent facility for our programs, we are excited to announce a 4-month residency with BMHC," says RDACBX founding member RodStarz. "This partnership will allow us to continue our programming through the summer, including our monthly open mic series Boogie Mics, free youth media literacy workshops, as well as free community access to our Nuestra America Media Center and Richie Perez Radical Library education initiatives."

RDACBX UNDER ATTACK!!


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contacts:
Gonzalo “G1” Venegas
Rodrigo “RodStarz” Venegas 

South Bronx community center Rebel Diaz Arts Collective (RDACBX) shut down by Federal marshals and NYPD.  Rally to be held denouncing lockout and forced eviction.

March 1, 2013- After a violent daytime raid yesterday, Thursday, February 28, 2013, on the warehouse turned arts space at 478 Austin Place in the Bronx, members of Hip-Hop community center RDACBX are denouncing their forced eviction at a rally to be held at 6pm today in front of their locked out building.

The building landowner, local commercial developer Marc Pagostin of Austin Property Corp., had for months stalled negotiations on a new agreement with the RDACBX after the group’s original lease expired this past November. Despite diverse support for RDACBX from local politicians, churches, and community organizations in the area, Austin Property Corp. eventually refused to renew the lease, citing concerns about the group’s political murals, and prompting the surprise eviction yesterday.

“The violent actions taken yesterday are an attack on young people, artists, and Hip Hop culture,” says RDACBX co-founder RodStarz. “In a time where budget cuts, stop and frisk, and gentrification are affecting our communities, it’s a shame we are being treated like criminals. There is no justification for this eviction.”

Karen Louviere, 19, a past participant in RDACBX youth programs, expressed her disappointment at the violent shutdown of the space. “They came in with armed officers into what is supposed to be a safe space for the community. A space that has served as an alternative for young people in the area, helping develop their talents in a positive way.”

The internationally renowned RDACBX, host to weekly cultural performances and educational workshops, had recently announced plans for the creation of the Richie Perez Radical Library, as well as the continuation of their widely recognized Boogie Mics open mic series, and the SxSBX Hip-Hop Festival.

 “Despite the violent removal of RDACBX from its space, RDACBX will continue to work on its development, as it strives to be a resource for the community. There is a need for this organization to exist in The South Bronx,” says Claudia De La Cruz, a member of the collective.

When: Friday, March 1st, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.
