Join us for a dynamic conversation among artists who are leading path-breaking projects. Artists Mei Lum and Juliet Phillips will visit from the W.O.W. Project in New York’s Chinatown, promoting the preservation of cultural traditions in the face of gentrification. Artist Shira Walinsky will discuss Southeast by Southeast and Northeast Passage, both Mural Arts projects she helped spearhead in Philadelphia’s immigrant and refugee communities. Artist Kathryn Pannepackerwill report on her activities within Mural Arts’ Kensington Storefront, working directly with a neighborhood grappling daily with Philadelphia’s opioid crisis.
