Join us for a dynamic conversation among artists who are leading path-breaking projects. Artists Mei Lum [4] and Juliet Phillips [5] will visit from the W.O.W. Project [6] in New York’s Chinatown, promoting the preservation of cultural traditions in the face of gentrification. Artist Shira Walinsky [7] will discuss Southeast by Southeast [8] and Northeast Passage [9], both Mural Arts projects she helped spearhead in Philadelphia’s immigrant and refugee communities. Artist Kathryn Pannepacker [10]will report on her activities within Mural Arts’ Kensington Storefront [11], working directly with a neighborhood grappling daily with Philadelphia’s opioid crisis.
