Simone Development Companies announced the opening of “A(I) Brighter Tomorrow: Cancer and Beyond,” a new winter exhibit at The Gallery of ArtFul Medicine, located in the lobby of Simone Development’s Hutchinson Metro Center’s Tower One at 1250 Waters Place in the Bronx.

The exhibition brings together art and healthcare to highlight the human side of the cancer journey. By uniting visionary artists, doctors and cancer survivors, the exhibition tells a comprehensive story of cancer diagnosis and treatment, staying as true to real-life experiences as possible.

The exhibition includes Suzanne Anker’s “Return to Life: In and Out of the Body,” which explores onco-fertility through parallels between nature’s cycles and the preservation of life; Anna and Jordan Rathkopf’s “Burden of Concealment: The Diagnosed, The Caregiver, and Their Son,” which reflects their personal experiences as a patient and caregiver; “Physic AI Garden” by Anna Dumitriu and Alex May, which integrates artificial intelligence to address health challenges from cancer treatment while exploring potential AI-driven solutions; “T(H)UMOR: Dear Cancer Diary” by Federico Muelas, which transforming real-life cancer survivor stories from Montefiore’s Bronx Oncology Living Daily’s program into comic art and a light-and-shadow collaboration by Romanian-based radiation oncologist Dr. Sabina Sucuri and photographer Vladimir Gheorghiu, exploring survivorship and resilience.
The exhibit is co-curated by Natalia Marin, an independent art curator and medical student based in Bucharest, Romania, and Jodi Moise, director of the Fine Art Program and Collection at Montefiore Einstein.
