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:Art as Medicine: The Clare Feldman Poliakoff Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:How does art heal? Can creativity transform healthcare? Join us for the inaugural Clare Feldman Poliakoff Lecture\, where medicine meets artistic expression in a groundbreaking conversation about accessibility\, empathy\, and the power of art to restore and inspire. \nIranian-American cardiologist and visual artist Dr. Nazanin Moghbeli delivers the keynote address\, drawing on her unique practice that transforms EKGs and diagnostic imagery into stunning works bridging Persian calligraphy and modern medicine. As Jefferson Health’s Artist-in-Residence\, Dr. Moghbeli pioneers the use of art to cultivate empathy among healthcare providers and prevent burnout—proving that creativity is not merely decorative\, but essential to healing. \nFollowing the keynote\, a distinguished panel explores how art creates inclusive\, therapeutic experiences across healthcare and community settings. Panelists include Dr. Moghbeli\, Megan Voeller (Director of Humanities at Thomas Jefferson University)\, and Julie Nolan (Recreation Therapy and Creative Arts Therapy\, Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital). \nThis inaugural event honors the Clare Feldman Poliakoff Endowment’s mission to celebrate art’s transformative power—launching on the public opening day of A Nation of Artists\, our landmark exhibition marking America’s 250th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Community Weeds: A participatory workshop on practical approaches for controlling invasive plants\, planting for resilience\, and adapting to change
DESCRIPTION:Join panelists Tama Wong\, Andrew Conboy\, and Mike Van Clef in a participatory discussion of common sense\, practical\, and real-life approaches to controlling invasive plants\, and designing\, establishing\, maintaining and restoring vibrant\, resilient landscapes. Each panelist brings a different but overlapping expertise to the topic (forest\, meadows and edge habitats\, watersheds)\, and a shared passion for the health and resilience of the flora and fauna of our Mid-Atlantic region. \nYou will be invited to share knowledge\, build community\, and learn from real-world case studies—highlighting both successes and setbacks. You will leave with fresh ideas\, practical strategies\, and a deeper understanding of how to control disruptive plants while restoring balance to landscapes ranging from highway medians to backyard gardens. \nTopics will include the difference between ‘maintenance’ and ‘stewardship’; finding value on roadsides and in vacant lots; use / misuse of herbicides; the ‘addition by subtraction’ approach to invasive plant management; mulching and mowing; native plant selection; and so much more. \nParticipants will include regional vegetation managers\, landscape and municipal professionals\, home gardeners\, small scale farmers\, native species reclamation enthusiasts\, and more. \nThis interactive forum thrives on collaboration\, so come ready to share your own challenges and insights! This program has been submitted for 3 LA CES CEUs.

SUMMARY:Creative Conversations with Guest Artist Paul Dusold
DESCRIPTION:Creative Conversations (CC) is a program bringing emerging and established artists together to engage in conversation in a welcoming and relaxed environment. CC is an opportunity to meet with artists who work in various mediums and talk about the joys\, struggles\, inspirations\, and technical issues artists deal with throughout their creative journey. Participants have the opportunity to share their work and receive sensitive and useful feedback from the visiting artist.\nPaul Dusold Paul DuSold studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and privately with Arthur DeCosta and in fresco with B.F. Long. He has taught for thirty years at various institutions including Wayne Art Center\, the Delaware Art Museum\, Main Line Art Center and continues to teach at Fleischer Art Memorial and Woodmere Art Museum.\nArtistic Statement\n“My artwork is best described as atmospheric representationalism. Still life\, figures in landscape and portraits are my preferred subject matter.\nMy influences are mostly sixteenth and seventeenth century Italian and Spanish painters; I am perhaps most informed by the use of oil paint as an expressive medium by the Venetian artists of the sixteenth century.\nThe Primary aspiration of my efforts is to paint pictures whose effect of meaning is achieved through a very acute balance of color\, light and shadow and seal of forms.” Personal Website: www.pauldusold.com

SUMMARY:AAMP Family Fun Day: History is Alive! Sojourner Truth Storytime
DESCRIPTION:On October 13\, 2024\, from 1 to 3 PM\, get ready for an unforgettable adventure as we step into history with the legendary Sojourner Truth! Start your visit off by meeting Sojourner in the Conversations Gallery 2 at 1 PM for a Black History pop quiz game. Stop by the front desk and grab your materials for the scavenger hunt to uncover clues hidden throughout the museum’s galleries. \nAt 2 PM\, we invite our youngest guests and their families to gather in the Jack T. Franklin Auditorium for an electrifying storytime. Listen and learn as Sojourner delivers a dramatic reading about life on the Underground Railroad with her brave companions. \nDon’t miss this chance to relive history in a way you’ve never experienced! \nAbout Dr. Daisy Century\, Sojourner Truth Re-Enactor: \nDaisy Century 2 \nDr. Daisy Century and Ms. Sojourner Truth are both powerful singers and very intelligent women\, whether self-taught or academically trained. Almost as impressively tall as the woman she portrays\, Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth\, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles\, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day\, including Susan B. Anthony\, Abraham Lincoln\, and Ulysses S. Grant. Audience members are urged to \nconsider the twin goals of racial and gender parity of equal importance. We are inspired by Ms. Truth’s fiery wit\, as exemplified by her rejoinder to a Screenshot 2024-09-20 163037comment that since she smoked a pipe (at one time)\, her conduct did not reflect cleanliness being next to godliness. Said Sojourner\, “When I die\, I expect to leave my breath behind.” The audience has the opportunity to sign Sojourner Truth’s Book of Life\, signifying their connection to Ms. Truth’s legacy. \nInformation pulled from Characters | Dr. Daisy Century.
