Philadelphia Assembled

Stopped by @hakimsbookstore and @acaf1 to drop of some Land Sovereignty and Economic Sovereignty publications. Don’t forget to swing by Brown Sugar Bakery for some delicious patties. Check out these historic and new black owned stores on 52nd st.

Come hang out with PHLA collaborators and friends at Clark Park on Sunday! Bring a dish to share and a picnic blanket or chair. We will also have more publications to share if you missed the last distribution. Looking forward to seeing you there! ^ ^ ^ ^ #cookout #phlassembled #reunion #art #collaborators #movement #futures #sanctuary #reconstructions #sovereignty

Highlighting our friends over at @peoplespaperco_op for todays national #prisonstrike ・・ A photo and info from the Philadelphia Assembled exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art It's been such an amazing honor to have both the #ReentryThinkTank and the #PeoplesPaperCoop included in this exhibit, to have the voices, dreams, and demands of so many people in these projects be validated, lifted up, and amplified alongside so many other creative activists and super heroes from across the city. It's exhibits like this that give us hope, that remind us of how much power and potential we all have. It's what we do with those intersections, shared goals, and potential partnerships that will be the true legacy of this exhibit. For our part, we're more than hopeful :0 Huge thanks to all the organizers of PHL Assembled, and most importantly, to the partners and participants who helped make the exhibit, and our contributions possible. #PrisonsDontWork #PLSE#EverydayReentry #PMA #PHLAssembled #VillageArtsPhilly Info on the artwork: "Without my record I'm free to be..." As a program of the Village of Arts and Humanities, the People’s Paper Co-op (PPC) connected formerly incarcerated individuals with Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity (who provide community-based expungement services) to co-design a series of arts-integrated legal clinics. At each clinic, PPC fellows set up art installations, shared their stories, and ledinteractive arts workshops that ensured the clinics were as peer-led, trauma informed, and generative as possible. After lawyers worked with each clinic participant (beginning the process of clearing or cleaning up their criminal records), participants worked with PPC fellows, to tear up their criminal records and put them in blenders to create new, blank sheets of handmade paper. Participants then embedded writing (“Without my criminal record, I am…”) and a polaroid portrait ( a ‘reverse mug shot’) into the new, blank sheet of handmade paper. The ongoing collection of sheets have been exhibited in legal clinics, City Hall, churches, museums, and more.

The incredible @cskisforkitchen got interviewed by @whyynews - check out their Philly specific dinner coming up! with @get_repost ・・・ We were on @whyynews radio this morning!! You can listen/read at: /articles/at-this-dinner-series-the-dining-table-is-a-global-crossroads/ The amazing Jen Kinney profiled our Faemily Table dinners. It was super fun and sweet to share the table with her & photographer Kim as they asked us about the culinary anthropology we've been doing for the dinners. We've been exploring a different world cuisine at each meal, writing love letters to these places in the form of food & story. Our next dinner lands right at Home in Philadelphia -- we'll be enjoying cheese steaks, soft pretzels, and more!! (As always, happy to accommodate dietary restrictions with notice).
