BDC’s 1000-square-foot gallery will present exhibitions by documentary photographers and filmmakers four times a year—shows that incorporate a combination of prints, video, multimedia and ephemera.
In addition its regular programming, BDC will hold intermittent one-week exhibitions in partnership with schools and local organizations.

March 15-April 19, 2013
The exhibition features the remarkable war diaries of Marine Lt. Timothy McLaughlin, along with texts by Peter Maass and photographs by Gary Knight. Free and open to the public.

January 19- March 8, 2013
Nina Berman | Bronx Gardens
June 2 - August 16
The photographs in the Gardens series redefine the possibility of urban life, taking the South Bronx, with its infamous history and imagining it as a place of natural sustenance, promise and tranquility. Over the years motivated residents who saw possibility where others found wreckage cleaned out abandoned sites and created green spaces - islands of calm that nurtured themselves and their neighborhood, one plot at a time.

Visions: Tim Hetherington

Tim Hetherington, renowned photojournalist and Oscar-nominated film director was considered by many to be the finest multimedia journalist of his generation. Killed in combat on April 20, 2011 in Libya, Hetherington was a close friend of the BDC’s founder and was involved in the organization’s initial planning. Featuring photography, film and multimedia, this is the first exhibition to show Hetherington’s final work from Libya.
