SUMMARY:October First Saturday— Home Soil: The Minerals and Geology of Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discover local minerals and explore the Wagner’s collections.\n\n\nOCTOBER FIRST SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE\nHome Soil: The Minerals and Geology of Philadelphia\n \nFrom quartzite to kyanite to garnets—Philadelphia is home to a vast array of regional minerals. Join us on Saturday\, October 5th as geologist Bruce Mitchell from the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society engages visitors of all ages in learning about Philadelphia’s rich geological landscape. \n \nAt 1 PM\, join Bruce for an illustrated talk in our historic Lecture Hall about rocks and minerals in this region\, including many that were found—and can still be found!—in Fairmount Park along Wissahickon Creek. Bruce will share facts about\, and images of\, minerals collected by the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society. Featured specimens include some collected a few weeks ago and others collected over a hundred years ago! Adults and children will also have the opportunity to closely examine and handle some of the specimens during the talk and afterward. \n \nBruce T. Mitchell is a retired geologist\, who had a long career as a geophysicist and geological advisor. He currently serves as Program Chair of the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society and enjoys collecting minerals from the old iron mines near Philadelphia. \n \nThe Wagner is home to an extensive collection of minerals\, which are on display in the Exhibit Hall. The mineral cases as well as the rest of the natural history collection will be available for self-guided exploration throughout the day. Explore our 100\,000 natural history specimens\, including ancient fossils and animals from around the globe. Wander at your own pace or follow the path of one of our themed scavenger hunts. You can also pick up pencils and paper to draw from the specimens on display. \n \nSchedule: \n12 – 4 PM: Museum open for exploration \n1 – 2PM: The Minerals and Geology of Philadelphia: A Talk with Bruce Mitchell \n\n\n\nThings to Know Before Your Visit\n• Walk-in visitors are welcome.

SUMMARY:Artist's Talk\, Wendel White: Folding Time
DESCRIPTION:A presentation about his research in creating his three pivotal bodies of work: Manifest\, Schools for the Colored\, and Red Summer.\n\n\nJoin us for this compelling presentation by Wendel White on \nSaturday\, October 5th at 3:30 pm. \nA light reception will follow as part of the exhibition\, Folding Time. On view from September 3 through October 26\, 2024. \nWendel White is a distinguished South Jersey-based photographer known for focusing on Black history and the legacy of slavery through his foundational projects: Schools for the Colored\, Red Summer\, and Manifest. The exhibition Folding Time will display a selection of photographs from each series. Through these bodies of work\, White is effectively folding time by bringing the past and the present into a shared space. \nWhite’s series Manifest explores Black material culture across public collections in the original thirteen English colonies and Washington\, DC\, showcasing artifacts that range from receipts for human purchases to everyday items\, illuminating the historical narrative of the Black community in America. Schools for the Colored documents segregation with historic African American school buildings\, particularly in the northern “Up-South” states. The digital imaging technique that obscures the landscape surrounding the schools\, and in some cases\, the schools themselves\, is a visual representation of the W.E.B. DuBois literary metaphor of the “veil” as a social barrier. \nRed Summer delves into locations where racial violence erupted between 1917 and 1923\, combining contemporary landscapes with fragments of historical newspaper reporting to bridge past and present perspectives. \nAbout the Artist \nBorn in Newark\, New Jersey\, Wendel White holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin. He currently serves as a Distinguished Professor of Art & American Studies at Stockton University and has received numerous awards\, including a Guggenheim Fellowship; an honorary Doctor of Arts at Oakland University; a Robert Gardner Fellow in Photography\, Peabody Museum\, Harvard University; and multiple artist fellowships from the New Jersey State Council for the Arts. His work has been exhibited widely and is housed in prestigious collections and institutions worldwide. \nimage above: Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth\, Bordentown\, New Jersey.

In Process is an opportunity for makers and audiences to delve deep into their craft through dialogue and screening works-in-progress. These salon-style events are designed to inspire and educate both emerging and experienced makers by engaging in hands-on learning\, collaboration\, and experimentation. \n \nThe Philadelphia Animation Ensemble is an open collective of animators with vastly different techniques and styles who come together to play collaborative games and delight in experimental moving image. \n \n**EVENT FLOW: \nDOORS @ 4:30PM \nCONVERSATION & SCREENING @ 5:00PM \n— \n**TICKETS** \n$5-$15 Sliding Scale \nPlease pay as you’re able; No one turned away for lack of funds. Advanced registration is recommended as seating is limited and first come\, first served. \nDONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Every penny helps. Support our efforts to launch a brick-and-mortar indie art house cinema in West Philadelphia. \n \nAbout the Featured Artists: \n \nAmy Lee Ketchum \nAmy Lee Ketchum is a Chinese American artist and animator based in Philadelphia. She creates poetic narratives and tactile worlds in her animations which draw from personal and collective memory\, metaphysical narratives\, and dance. Amy teaches at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where she is the Chair of Animation. She is also a member of the artist collective Tiger Strikes Asteroid and a founding member of the Philadelphia Animation Ensemble. \nCybee \nCybee is an animator\, storyteller\, and ecologist living in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia. Their work is collaborative\, surreal\, and often pedagogical in nature\, employing a range of digital and analogue techniques. Currently\, they are using animation to share stories of collective struggles against displacement and to celebrate and deepen relationships to land. \n \nMaisie O’Brien \nMaisie is a Philadelphia-based shadow caster and educator. They have toured and practiced their original storytelling with communities including Studio 34\, Black Cherry Puppet Theater\, The Baltimore Crankie Festival\, and Asian Arts Initiative\, as well as developed shadows for collaborations with fellow artists in film\, dance\, music\, and theater.

By overlaying the history of the China trade with imagery of lanternfly squashing campaigns\, the film foregrounds the irony of simultaneous fetishization and othering of non-Western cultures. \n \nThe Word for World presented by Cybee  \nThe Word for World is a short poetic animation illustrating the stories of 6 land-defenders in Philadelphia and movements they are a part of. Deeply collaborative in nature – the project began with a community storytelling workshop\, in which activists wove together\, learned from\, and celebrated each other’s stories to generate a short script. The script is now being animated by 6 animators of various styles and mediums to create an exquisite-corpse-style animation. \n \nThe Artist presented by Maisie O’Brien \nThe Artist is an original short story about making mistakes and healing in better communication with the world\, told through illuminated crankie theater (scrolling panoramic art)\, shadow puppetry\, and song. \n \nAbout the Venue: \nMaking Worlds Cooperative Bookstore & Social Center is a nonprofit cooperative bookstore and social center that promotes collective knowledge\, skills\, and visions of liberation from our communities. \n \nFollow: @makingworldsbooks \n \nAccessibility: Making Worlds is an ADA-accessible space on the ground floor. The event setup is flexible and can accommodate a variety of needs. The bathroom is also ADA accessible with transfer rails (note: the door is not automatic). This is not a scent-free space.

SUMMARY:GOAToberFest
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, October 6\, from 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.\, Philly Goat Project invites you to its 3rd Annual GOAToberFest fundraiser at the beautiful Laurel Hill West Conservatory. \nThis fundraiser is packed with engaging activities\, including goat art raffles and historic cemetery tours. Spend the afternoon with Philly Goat Project’s 13 beloved goats\, sip on signature cocktails\, sample tasty snacks\, play yard games\, and enjoy s’mores by the fire pit. Attendees aged 14 and older are welcome to attend. \nGOAToberFest guests will be the first to see and purchase the signature 2025 Goat Calendar\, which features the goats posing at iconic Philadelphia landmarks like the Philadelphia Orchestra’s stage at the Kimmel Center and Lincoln Financial Field\, home of the Philadelphia Eagles. \nShirts exclusively made for GOAToberFest will be available for purchase designed by local artist M. Dougherty\, a multidisciplinary artist specializing in scent art and olfactory research. \nNew at this year’s event is a very special GOAToberFest beer partnership with Triple Bottom Brewing\, a woman-owned craft brewery and Certified B Corp whose mission is to create fair chance\, long-term\, living wage jobs for people who have experienced homelessness or incarceration. Triple Bottom Brewing will be rebranding their signature Oktoberfest Crunch Beer with a Philly Goat Project GOAToberFest label done by a local artist Jessica Kat Miller\, and it will be available exclusively at the fundraiser. Guests can enjoy the special beer at the event as well as purchase four packs to take home with them with 50% of proceeds going to the nonprofit. The timing is perfect for this partnership because Triple Bottom Brewing has just launched the Future of Service Apprenticeship Program — a paid\, 16-week training program for people impacted by the justice system or housing insecurity to develop valuable job and life skills and secure quality jobs in Philly’s hospitality industry. Philly Goat Project is excited to support their mission and share the special commemorative beer cans with attendees. \nThe featured signature cocktail at this year’s GOAToberFest is a twist on the Midori Splice called the Ray Ray in honor of Ray the goat. Ray is named after Raymond Pace Alexander\, a lawyer who became the first Black judge to be appointed to the Common Pleas Court and the president of the National Bar Association. He is buried in Laurel Hill West Cemetery. \nCostumes are highly encouraged\, with both Oktoberfest and Halloween-themed outfits welcome. There will be special prizes for the best costumes\, so come dressed to impress! \nProceeds from GOAToberFest support the vital programs of Philly Goat Project\, including early literacy\, environmental education\, animal-assisted therapy\, community wellness\, teen job skills training\, and a new bereavement support initiative. The event is possible with support from Philly Goat Project’s community partner\, Laurel Hill. Together\, they offer a tangible way to talk about sustainability – in both life and death. \nTickets are $75 each . The event will take place rain or shine. Laurel Hill West Conservatory is located at 215 Belmont Avenue\, Bala Cynwyd\, PA\, 19004. \nJoin Philly Goat Project for the G.O.A.T. event of the season!
