    NoName Gallery 8127 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, United States

    8127 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA May 1st | 6–9PM Free parking after 6PM This First Friday, we’re bringing together two distinct but connected bodies of work—photography by Allan Ali and a focused presentation of abstract works by EZV.

    FRIEDA 320 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Join us for a conversation with Michael Rex in a more intimate and relaxed setting. Following the talk, dinner will be served allowing for more discussion with the artist and among guests.

Later, a transformative encounter with the work of artist Ruth Asawa in a 2017 exhibition expanded his vision of what wire could become.

A new work of Canadian composer Nicole Lizée and works of David Lang, Shara Nova, Julia Wolfe, Michael Gordon, Stratis Minakakis, John Luther Adams, Edie Hill, Caroline Shaw, and Gabriel Jackson form a kind of musical quilt that says, “We are here, and this is what it feels like to be here.” Immigration.

The Wissahickon Valley Park and Kensington District share a similar history: both are ancestral homes of the indigenous tribe, the Lenni Lenape, and both were part of the 18th- and 19th-century industrial boom, with mills and manufacturing dominating. What sets them apart is how these areas fared after deindustrialization. The Wissahickon Valley Park was acquired by the city to protect the city's drinking water, eventually transforming it into a protected, forested natural landmark. While much of the industrial past was torn down, remnants
