6TH ANNUAL PHOTO AUCTION BENEFIT
VIRTUAL CELEBRATION
THURSDAY OCT 22, 2020 | 7PM
The Bronx Documentary Center (BDC) is proud to present our 6th Annual Photo Auction Benefit.
To give back to the many Bronx photographers who work with us, we’re sharing 50% of proceeds with Bronx photographers in need of financial support due to COVID-19. This means that every print sold will directly benefit our program participants and the Bronx photographers who inspire them the most.
This year’s 6th Annual Photo Auction will include beautifully printed photographs by artists including Stephanie Foden, Johis Alarcón, Daniella Zalcman, Inbal Abergil, and Mauricio Palos. Each of these photographs depict the vibrant landscapes and narratives of the world, and have been part of projects featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, TIME, and more.
Auction prints and photobooks will be available to bid on from 8:00 AM EST October 8th through 8:00 PM EST on October 22nd.

TRUMP REVOLUTION: THE END OF TRUTH
THURSDAY OCT 29, 2020 | 7PM
In America today, the very notion of truth is under assault. Citizens vigorously disagree about matters of scientific evidence; about the very existence of widely reported news events; about basic facts. The Bronx Documentary Center’s upcoming exhibition, The End of Truth, documents our country’s shift toward conspiratorial thinking by examining the rapidly changing roles of traditional and social media over the past 25 years.
This is the third and final segment of Trump Revolution, a series of exhibitions examining America’s societal and political transformation over the past four years, one whose speed, reach and consequences are unmatched in our country’s history.
On October 29th, the exhibition will available to view online at www.trumprevolutionbdc.org
