The exhibition will also feature immersive dance performances by Smashworks Dance and a vinyl DJ set by Denis Chupris.

Benny Cruz’s inspiration stems from his Chilean roots, childhood memories, hip-hop, Coffee and New York, which all play a role in his practice. His text-based works are created with acrylics and markers on canvas and paper, utilising words to inspire and positively impact New Yorkers.

Interdisciplinary Meetings is on display until June 15 2022, at New York’s Box factory gallery.
