Civic Views MSB Dedication

Civic Views made its temporary debut in the City Hall courtyard and will now move to the Municipal Services Building for a long-term exhibition of five years. This event celebrates the opening reception for the installation, featuring a performance by the Municipal Employees Choral Ensemble. Civic Views is a public art project celebrating the city’s municipal employees and their diverse perspectives on Philadelphia through poetic documentation of their office windows. The project represents the culmination of two years of Emilio Martínez Poppe photographing and interviewing staff from an array of Philadelphia civic agencies to map their diverse views on a changing city.
