SUMMARY:Places of Power: North Philadelphia History Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join us from 12-2pm with a reception with foods\, Puerto Rican sewing demonstrations and our Augmented Reality garden installation at the Africana Colobo Garden as part of the very first North Philadelphia History Festival! \nThe North Philadelphia History Festival (NPHF) is a cultural celebration of the African-American and Puerto Rican communities in North Philadelphia. Across four days\, historic sites along Ridge Avenue\, North Broad Street and other locales will be transformed into living exhibits created by artists\, historians\, curators and other cultural workers. \nThese multimedia projects and events will explore the emergence and impact of these communities in the 19th and 20th century. All events will be free and open to the public. \nPlaces of Power is an immersive AR/VR documentary\, public art\, and community media project that celebrates the West African diaspora in Puerto Rican culture and the legacy of Grupo Motivos\, a group of Puerto Rican women who transformed vacant city lots into vibrant community gardens. Project Directors Anula Shetty\, Iris Brown\, and Michael Kuetemeyer facilitated workshops with long-term residents to share the oral histories and memories of the Latine community in North Philadelphia. Come and explore the augmented reality artwork and stories embedded in this special garden. The project is a collaboration of Termite TV Collective and the Norris Square Neighborhood Project.

SUMMARY:Imagining Radical Communication with a DIY FM Transmitter
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis is a beginner friendly workshop that will teach attendees how to build a small FM radio transmitter while [hopefully] breaking the assumption that you need an engineering degree to start building your own electronics. In addition to teaching technical skills\, we will be offering a brief political context of radical radio organizing\, past and present\, and how people can start to think about building their own communication networks to keep themselves and their neighbors safe. Understanding radio is a great first step in demystifying networked communication. \nThis workshop requires no previous electronics experience and will consist of actions like hand-placing small components and wires and placing them in a breadboard. Participants will leave with a working radio transmitter that is powerful enough to transmit about one city block and a small publication with instructions for building the circuit and some examples of how radio and DIY networks can be used for radical organizing. Through the process of building electronics and learning together\, we hope that this technology will inspire folks to explore radio as a form of communication and experiment with broadcasting as a radical medium. We hope participants will leave the workshop feeling more empowered to take control of their online presence and potential to broadcast. No prior electronics experience is needed! \nRegister at the eventbrite! \nBios: \nHannah: \nHannah Tardie (they/them) is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work exists as sculpture\, installation\, essays\, event organization\, and performance. Tardie views electronics as rich transferential objects through which we can explore intimacy\, attachment\, and queer relationality. Their work has been shown at La Gaite Lyrique\, SPACE Gallery\, Westbeth Gallery\, One Brooklyn Bridge Park\, Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, Vox Populi\, Pig Iron Theatre Company\, and online via websites like Artsy.net\, maps-dna-and-spam\, and p5.js. Tardie has participated in residencies at Arts\, Letters\, & Numbers\, ChaNorth\, Alterworks\, Crit NYC\, and the Media Archaeology Lab (forthcoming). Tardie was on the organizing committee of the 2021 experimental iteration of the Movement and Computing Conference\, lovingly termed Slo MoCo. They solely organized Temple University’s first Electronics Faire in 2024\, an annual event they continue to steward. Tardie currently manages a makerspace at Temple University Library’s Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio. \nDerek: \nDerek Schwartz (he/him) is an audio engineer\, writer\, and technologist practicing the art of weaving networks. His values are rooted in DIY music culture\, and prior to coming to Philadelphia\, he spent time in St. Louis as a music writer and production assistant at KDHX Radio. In his current audio practice\, he produces\, mixes\, and records audio for film and music\, and creates experimental audio projects that play with waveforms\, radio\, and physical media. He is currently pursuing a Masters of Science in Music Technology at Temple University. \n

SUMMARY:Perpetual Repair - Julie Woodard Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This collection threads together four years of mourning\, curiosity\, practice\, and play. Stains\, holes\, and history are stitched behind windowsills\, stuffed into birds\, woven among ocean waves\, and painted above mountain ranges. My work reflects a constellation of ways that mending may manifest in our minds\, bodies\, environment\, and communities. \nArtifacts from lost loved ones\, scraps from strangers\, items purchased secondhand\, and materials salvaged from the street are all transformed and intertwined. Remnants have been hand-dyed with indigo\, screenprinted with pattern\, and stretched to new forms. The process is slow\, and the repair is perpetual.  \nI hope you find a home in this work–something that inspires your own art practice or helps to mend an ache in your heart. Perhaps you’ll be transported to a memory of a walk in the woods\, a birdsong that comforts you\, or a well-loved stoop down your block. Come and sit for a while. There’s always more mending to do. \nLearn more about Julie’s work & follow along at juiceboxworkshop.com and on socials @juiceboxworkshop.

SUMMARY:Mending Workshop with Duwenavue Santé Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Using the technique of embroidery on photos\, mixed with fabric and mixed media collage\, participants will be invited to bring a photo or send one in advance of an image that represents something they would like to mend in their life-a memory\, relationship or experience. Participants individuals pieces will be become part of a collaborative exhibit presented at Cherry Street Pier in May. \n“For Johnson\, a master of the needle trade\, the artistic process is inseparable from the act of survival. The process of mending a textile is identical to the process of mending a life\,” says Johnson. Her work collapses the distance between vocational expertise and communal storytelling\, turning the technical precision of the stitch into a vehicle for social cohesion within a space of her own creation.” \nhttps://www.duwenavuesantejohnson.com/bio# \nhttps://www.instagram.com/sante_artxstitch.art/
