The Urban Individualists Render the Heart of Brooklyn
By Lauren Raheja
At a new exhibit at the Williamsburg Music Center, The Urban Individualists, an art collective, wear their hearts on their sleeve. The show, entitled Hard Hearts, examines the diverse way in which the theme was interpreted in 28 different works. “Everything stems from a root – the tree stems from a root, the plant stems from a root – you have to get to the root of the person in order to get to the heart,” said Mia Roman Hernandez, a Brooklyn-born collective member. Featuring guitar players, bassists, painters, poets, mixed media artists, photographers, saxophone players, sculptors, and vocalists, the Urban Individualists are an eclectic and entertaining bunch.
