SUMMARY:Design A Doodad: Travel Game Zine
DESCRIPTION:BARRIO TELEVISION (work in progress) by Christina DiPasquale\n(USA\, 2026\, TBD) \nBARRIO TELEVISION uncovers the story of Puerto Rican activists who produced the first bilingual Latino television series to air nationwide called “Realidades.” After tracing U.S. complicity in the 1973 coup in Chile\, “Realidades” received backlash and the Nixon administration moved to cut public-media funding\, knocking the show off the air. Undeterred\, the creators mounted a comeback—training media makers in Philadelphia\, organizing a media coalition\, and sparking a fight for media power that continues to this day. \nChristina DiPasquale is a Colombian-American storyteller based in Philadelphia dedicated to advancing participatory media practices rooted in collective memory and movement-building.

SUMMARY:Philly Bakes A Book: Dessert Person
DESCRIPTION:Calling all dessert & baking lovers! Join Philly Bakes A Book! For our first baking book pick we will be baking from Dessert Person by Claire Saffitz. Claire Saffitz is a food writer and chef. This baking book is full of more than 100 recipes ranging from simple loaf cakes and cookies to fruit tarts and towering layer cakes. Even if you are new to baking there are a lot of approachable recipes. I’m so excited that this is the first baking book we are starting with! This is one of my favorites. “There are no ‘just cooks’ out there\, only bakers who haven’t yet been converted. I am a dessert person\, and we are all dessert people.” — Claire Saffitz. Bake a new recipe\, try desserts from Dessert Person\, and meet new people. Follow @phillycooksabook on Instagram for updates about future events!
