"Di Nada," an exhibit by local printmaker Gilberto Wilson, is now on display in the Community Corridor at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia!
AAMP and Einstein Health have partnered to bring art with connections to Philadelphia to the Community Corridor for staff, patients, and the community to enjoy.
“Di Nada,” which pays homage to Wilson’s multicultural and multilingual ancestry, will be the first exhibit at Einstein to feature a contemporary artist who lives and works in Philadelphia.
In "Di Nada," Wilson uses collage-like compositions and fuses photography and printmaking to create a visual language that tells the stories of our nostalgic past and the present urban landscape we call home.
The exhibit will be on display through June. The Community Corridor is located in the lobby of the Tower Building on the Einstein Medical Center campus at 5501 Old York Road, Philadelphia, PA 19141.
