SUMMARY:Image Par Image Collage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Natasha Guy for a workshop that will use collage as a way to explore historical images. \n2026 marks not just the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, but also the 200th anniversary of photography. In honor of these celebrations\, participants will use historical images from the Print and Picture Collection to compose a collage and discuss what they’ve made as a group\, exploring topics like how a city pictures itself\, how photographs build collective memory\, and the ways that history can be reopened through collage. The workshop will be held in the Art Department at Parkway Central Library and will run from 5 pm to 7:30 pm. No experience is needed and all materials will be provided. \nParticipants should pre-register at the link below: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0qz0VdHI0qEIrDA6DdnU6FrpSI4ekhsFkv1HFxDQvXqHCPg/viewform?usp=publish-editor

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Cavin Jones
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, September 26\, 2026 at 2 PM in the Art Department for a talk by Philadelphia artist Cavin Jones. \nCavin Jones is a painter\, muralist\, and collagist whose figurative work is inspired by American history\, particularly the African American experience. Jones has said that his work is “a catalyst to stimulate thought and promote discussion about various issues prevalent in society.” His dynamic compositions often feature contrasting elements that as he says\, “infuse the paintings with layers of meaning and associations.” \nCavin will talk about his art journey\, including his public mural work. After the talk in the Art Department\, we’ll visit the Print and Picture Collection to view the original drawings for Cavin’s reimagined Alice in Wonderland. Cavin will have copies of his books available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Practicing Attention—But Why?
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on themes from her bestselling 2019 book How to Do Nothing\, Jenny Odell will examine anxieties about our ability to focus and the way that the issue is often emptied of social\, political\, and spiritual content. Like anything else\, the practice of paying attention can be aimed at increased productivity for productivity’s sake—or worse\, an abstract valuing of mental “performance.” She will argue that much of modern advice regarding the practice of attention is inadequate because it misses the role of purpose\, commitment\, and love. \nA book signing will follow the lecture and Q&A.

SUMMARY:The Historical Society of Frankford: New Exhibit\, and  Monthly  Meeting and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Using historic maps\, photographs\, artifacts\, and documents\, Frankford and the 1876 Centennial provides a snapshot of Frankford at the time of the U.S. Centennial. Still in the midst of an industrial depression\, Frankford’s developing industries were not heavily represented at the Exhibition\, but they were the heartbeat of the neighborhood. The fair offered Frankford visitors technological expertise and inspiration\, as well as a wide variety of souvenirs. Among the artifacts preserved in the Historical Society of Frankford’s collections is a rare carved chair from the Pennsylvania Pavilion\, a match to ones owned by the Smithsonian Institution\, the Atwater Kent holdings\, and in a private collection. \nThe exhibit opens Tuesday evening\, September 8\, for the Historical Society of Frankford’s monthly lecture and runs through the Semiquincentennial year. Admission is free during the Society’s current opening hours: Tuesdays\, Thursdays\, and Saturdays\, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. \nThe same evening as the exhibit opening\, historian Jeff Denman will speak about his new book\, Philadelphia Quakers and the American Revolution. Denman shows how the Quakers’ pacifist beliefs ran afoul of revolutionary passions\, undoing their control of Pennsylvania politics and government. Copies will be available for purchase and signing. \nDoors open at 7:00 PM\, and Denman’s presentation begins at 7:30. It will also stream live on the HSF Facebook page. The lecture is also free and open to the public. Free\, off street parking will be available across Orthodox Street at the Frankford Friends School. Light refreshments will be served before and after the presentation. \nPlease join us for two intriguing examinations of Frankford and Philadelphia history.

SUMMARY:Organizing DNA: How Neighborhood‑Level Power Drives Today’s Movements
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Nowak began his career as a community organizer\, known for his ability to build power at the neighborhood and block level to achieve larger-scale change. His work was rooted in deep listening\, relationship‑building\, and the belief that ordinary people could transform their communities when given the tools to act. The practices he championed continue to shape organizers and campaigns today. \nA recent New Yorker article explored the effectiveness of creating broad-based coalitions of independent\, and often pluralistic units to drive change. Hyper local organizing allows for numerous leaders to emerge\, build networks\, and train others — an approach that is both energizing and accessible. \nToday’s immigrant justice and community protection efforts draw on the same organizing DNA that Jeremy helped cultivate: local leadership\, community ownership\, and collective action rooted in trust. We’ve seen news coverage of effective community organizing in Minneapolis\, Chicago\, DC\, and LA – and many similar efforts are gaining momentum in cities across the U.S.\, including in Jeremy’s hometown of Philadelphia. \nThis session will explore how Jeremy’s legacy lives on in current movements\, and how his methods and insights remain relevant continue to the work of organizers today.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: The Neanderthals Among Us
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “The Neanderthals Among Us\,” on the genetic legacy of our ancestors’ pairings with Homo neanderthalensis and what such genes tell us about prehistoric life\, with Alexander Platt\, evolutionary geneticist and senior research scientist at University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. \n“Extinction” is a slippery word. Neanderthals went extinct tens of thousands of years ago\, yet in a sense they’re more genetically present on Earth than ever given all of the markers of Neanderthal ancestry found mixed in the genes of the eight billion Homo sapiens around today. Moreover\, Neanderthals aren’t the only type of humans whose extinctions weren’t the end of the line. \nCome to Philadelphia’s Black Squirrel Club to learn about fascinating research on the relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans being done by the University of Pennsylvania’s Tishkoff Lab. That lab\, broadly devoted to studying genetic variation in global populations\, generated worldwide headlines in February with a study finding that most of our Neanderthal ancestry appears to come from the pairing of male Neanderthals with Homo sapiens females \nDr. Alexander Platt\, lead co-author of the recent study\, will talk about what we know about human-Neanderthal interactions and the major questions that have yet to be answered. \nYou’ll learn how fossil evidence helps us know where and when individuals from various early human groups lived\, while anatomical similarities between them let us speculate about their respective migration histories and their relationships. Genetic evidence\, from both modern humans and samples of ancient DNA\, offers us fresh insights into the connections between some of them. \nDr. Platt will talk about how modern humans and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor over 500\,000 years ago. They then spent hundreds of thousands of years evolving on separate continents\, only to encounter each other repeatedly over the last 250\,000 years\, during which their interactions and interbreeding left each carrying a complex set of genetic relics of the other. \nExactly how and why such pairings took place is one of the key mysteries that Dr. Platt and his colleagues are working to solve. To get a better sense of how sex differences shaped those interactions\, the researchers contrast genetic diversity in non-sex chromosomes with genetic diversity in the X chromosome\, more reflective of the history of women than men. \nYou’ll emerge from the talk with a much better understanding of how breakthroughs in genetics are contributing to our understanding of human evolution\, as well as a recognition that our own genetic makeup tells us about our roots in prehistory. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Guests are welcome to arrive any time after 5:30. Talk starts at 6:30.) \nImage: A reconstruction of a Neanderthal man on display at the Neanderthal Museum in Mettman\, Germany (Neanderthal Museum / Wikimedia Commons).
