The Staten Island Museum has opened its triennial exhibition, “Here You Are,” featuring seven artists with strong ties to Staten Island. Among them is graphic artist Roemello Agjmurati, who presents “365 Proof of Life,” a collection of daily digital designs created over a year as a personal creative exercise. The show spans multiple mediums including fiber, paint, film, photography, and graphic design, and runs through mid-October.
The exhibition matters because it continues the museum’s post-pandemic commitment to supporting local artists, offering stipends and exposure to participants. In an era where audiences crave authenticity, the show highlights deeply personal and intimate works that encourage reflection on the present moment. It also reinforces Staten Island’s cultural identity by showcasing the borough’s artistic talent on an institutional stage.
