NEW EXHIBIT๐ขโจJoin us at the opening reception of our highly anticipated Spring season exhibition, ๐พ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ค: ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ (1981-1999) on Friday, February 28, 5โ8PM.
๐พ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ค is a historical survey of multidisciplinary art projects created between 1981 and 1999, intersecting with Asian American social movements. Largely inspired by Jazz and improvised music that were central to the Black Arts Movement, the artists featured in the exhibition used music as a vehicle to build solidarity beyond races and ethnicities. This marks the first time these influential figures are recognized through a major exhibition and we believe this is an especially critical time to highlight the history of how art and music have madeโand continue to makeโloud impacts in amplifying social movements.
Following the reception, at 7PM, do not miss a special concert featuring Jazz legend Salim Washington as he returns to Philadelphia to present an evening of music, poetry, and a panel on his experiences in both political activism and the arts. Washingtonโs insights will serve as a catalyst for dialogue, reconnecting with local Philadelphia musicians and community members to reflect on and discuss the ways in which art and activism intersect in the contemporary context. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish but registration is required to attend the concert. RSVP today at the link in bio ๐
