Every piece Erika Acevedo creates is a love letter to the human spirit and a celebration of our capacity to express it. \nArt by Dominic Moret (he/him)– Dominic Moret is an Illustrator/Oil Painter.

She completed her BFA in Illustration and Minor in Animation at the University of the Arts.

She is fascinated with capturing a moment or feeling. \nNoir Pearle (she/her) – Shanea is an emerging digital artist who transforms 3D renders into tangible works of art through print. Blending technical precision with a creative sense of composition\, her work explores form\, light\, and texture in the virtual space before bringing it into the physical world. Each piece reflects a curiosity for modern aesthetics and experimental design\, capturing moments that feel both futuristic and deeply personal. \nreva\, from mercury! (they/them\, she/her\, he/him) – reva\, from mercury! is a self-taught mixed-media collage and assemblage artist. reva mainly incorporates thrifted/found items\, personal souvenirs\, and childlike craft objects in her pieces. reva’s vibrant art is influenced by deep sadness and whimsy\, these emotions evoked through Afro-futurist and fantasy themes. Bright colors\, eye-catching textures\, meticulously layered landscapes\, and portal motifs transport viewers to the intricate worlds that exist in reva’s brain. \n \nFeatured Live Music\nDJ Heat___wav – In his 10+ years of DJ-ing and production experience\, Heat___wav honed a passion for live blending songs\, original remixes\, and tinkering with all musical genres and instrumentation.

This exhibit explores their experiences and struggles as a new nation formed. \nProcuring Liberty in the Emerging Nation is made possible by the generous support of The Mill Spring Foundation\, The Haley Foundation\, the Richard Dietrich III Foundation\, The Chester County History Center\, The Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel University\, The Ivy Lodge Collection\, The Germantown Historical Society\, The Library of Congress\, William Faris\, Ian Hughes\, and John P.
