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: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: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.
