SUMMARY:Philadelphia Film Project Mural Paint Day
DESCRIPTION:Mural Arts\, BlackStar\, and PFS launched a new mural project celebrating Philly’s vibrant film community.\n\n\nIn 2023 talks between Mural Arts Philadelphia\, BlackStar Film Festival and the Philadelphia Film Center seeded an exciting new mural project celebrating the Philadelphia Film Community. To create the list of films and organizations featured\, a public survey asked Philadelphians which films\, and organizations impacted them the most. We also created an advisory panel made up of representatives from BlackStar Film Festival\, PhillyCAM\, Scribe Video Center\, Philadelphia Film and others to advance the work.

The result is a vibrant new mural designed by Marian Bailey that will adorn the Sansom Street side of the Philadelphia Film Center. As the film community is massive and has spanned many years\, the mural focuses on some of the key films and film related organizations that have impacted filmmaking\, film presentation and film-related training in Philadelphia. On April 12th\, please join us to help paint the mural!

Vibrational healing is the ancient art of healing with sound; it traces back to ancient Egypt & Tibet. Sound vibrations can heal the physical body at a cellular level by adjusting blockages and imbalances. These imbalances can cause the body to have a slower frequency vibration which may lead to dis-ease or illnesses. Natural healing sound frequencies can be transferred or introduced externally or directly into the body to create a more harmonious state. \nAt Black Lotus\, we combine the use of crystal chakra singing bowls\, gongs\, tuning forks\, and more to give a relaxing & transformative experience. We can balance chakras\, repair auras\, uplift the mood or help with grounding. Vibrational healing is a great tool for meditation\, alleviating stress\, and relaxing stiff or sore muscles. \nFor more visit: www.diasporaeducationalservices.org/black-lotus \nhttps://linktr.ee/blacklotushhc \n\n\n\nDIRECTIONS: \n \nBlack Lotus is not on Lincoln Drive despite the address…it is actually on Rittenhousetown Lane.

SUMMARY:Building Community-Centered Practices

Let’s take care of ourselves and one another!” In our volatile and unstable times community is the only thing we can rely on. In this thoughtful presentation and discussion\, we’ll explore how to meaningful build resilience and solidarity in Philly’s current arts landscape. \nJeanette Lloyd is a multi-disciplinary artist and creative producer that choreographs complex community and cultural projects with ease. She is kindred and servant of the underserved\, and thrives working behind the scenes to curate and amplify powerful experiences and marginalized voices. Her passion for art\, background in entertainment\, and professional experience in marketing and partnerships allows her to advise and collaborate with a diverse group of people. Jeanette currently works as the Director of Marketing for Asian Arts Initiative and advises many local individuals and collectives on artistic strategy. \n \nKathryn Pannepacker is a textile/visual/community artist living in Germantown/Philadelphia\, PA.

She has done many projects with Mural Arts Philadelphia and other organizations over the years with folks of all ages and backgrounds. \nKathryn exhibits locally\, nationally and internationally\, and has work in private and public collections. She balances her time doing studio work\, and art as harm reduction & wellness support with folks in active addiction\, many of whom are unsheltered in Kensington at the Sunshine House and Prevention Point Philadelphia. She believes that creating an environment of belonging\, meaning and purpose is a critical component for any wellness journey as the nation scrambles for solutions during an epidemic of addiction\, isolation and despair. \nKathryn has received numerous grants including The Leeway Foundation’s Transformation Award and The Pollination Project. Her work has been featured on the cover of AMERICAN CRAFT and in many other publications. She offers hands-on workshops and presentations about art and social change. \nKathryn is delighted and honored to be apart of this afternoon’s conversation … Da Vinci Art Alliance has a very special place in her heart\, as back in the mid 1990’s she helped to re-invigorate it from it’s once sleepy state. These Community Conversations here at DVAA are vital. May that the work we each do come from a heart-centered place. Times are intense. Let’s take care of ourselves and one another! \nLook for Kathryn’s solo exhibition in Sept./Oct. at William Way LGBT Community Center called “You are Welcome Here; I Saved A Chair for You.” \n \nAccessibility Information  \nDVAA is a historic row home in the Bella Vista neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Power Politics: Oral History Series
DESCRIPTION:A series to explore Black and Puerto Rican political thought\, activism\, and storytelling through screenings of oral history interviews. \nThe Power Politics Listen-Ins at the Free Library of Philadelphia is a series hosted by Scribe Video Center to explore Black and Puerto Rican political thought\, activism\, and community storytelling through screenings of oral history interviews and discussion. \nThe April 14th oral history will focus on John Churchville (b. 1941). Churchville will be joining us for a screening of his interview as well as a Live Q&A session. \nABOUT JOHN CHURCHVILLE:\n“Black Power stressed that Black people should be in control of Black communities.

Churchville and other activists who gathered at Freedom Library formed Philadelphia’s first Black Power political organization\, the Black People’s Unity Movement (BPUM)\, in 1965.” – The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia \nFuture sessions: \nApril 21st – Barbara Easley-Cox \nApril 28th – TBD \nMay 5th – Bilal Qayyum \nMay 12th – Rev.
