SUMMARY:Mural Dedication! The Struggle for Absolute Equality
DESCRIPTION:A mural with a NEW story to tell… Juneteenth was just the beginning…\n\n\nRain Date: Sunday\, November 3rd\, 2024 \n \nThere’s Levels to This Story…\n…layers and history\, both lived and revealed\, that depict the “long walk to freedom” for millions of people throughout this country. As part of the 2023 multi-city ‘Absolute Equality’ Mural Project\, the Germantown ArtHaus introduced Philadelphia’s 1st Juneteenth mural to Germantown.  Founder and Lead Artist\, Keisha Whatley shared the story behind each of the three levels of the mural that depict: \n\nPre-Colonial West Africa\,\nThe Trans-Atlantic slave trade\, and\nJuneteenth\n\nBut there’s another level; another layer to this story… \nUnfortunately in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger relayed the decree that “The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States\, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves\, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer.”…those committed to the economy\, power and position of slavery didn’t get the memo so a new era began. \n \nThe Struggle for Absolute Equality…\n\n\n\nThe TRANSFORMING TRAGEDY Community Mural Project\nSince May of 2021\, four courageous Community Artists have grappled with a creative challenge that sought to visually display the juxtaposition between the loss\, rage and despair of this struggle for equality and the undying hope for a future of equality\, peace and joy: \nCreate a piece of artwork (painted\, 3-D relief\, etc.) that honors the life of a victim of police brutality or gun violence AND points to a future where we need not create a mural like this ever again. \n\n\n\nJoin us at The Germantown ArtHaus for a one-of-a-kind Mural Dedication; one of grit\, persistence\, pain\, triumph\, protests\, loss and hope. Set against a backdrop of history\, each artists’ work sounds the horn of hope and possibility that only art can. \nEnjoy each artist’s installation including their 7 foot tall works of art\, installation decor and an interactive experience that will ignite your senses and spark your imagination: \n\nVictoria Holmes: @vic_toriaholmes “Positive Pockets”\nKeshida Layone: @keshida.layone “His Presence”\nPaige Lewis: @PinkTinyAngryMighty “Flowers of Remembrance”\nKathryn Pannepacker: @kpannepacker “Someone’s Someone”\n\nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in creativity and community! \n\n\n\n\n\nCheck our website’s calendar to stay in the know about upcoming events!

The Philly Youth Selfie Project is partially sponsored\n by Jumpstart Germantown and supported by community members throughout the city of Philadelphia. \n \n\n\n\nThe Mural’s Story\nWhatley said that one of the first projects the nonprofit embarked on was a project focused on youth empowerment. “It only made sense\,” she shared\,”to focus on our most precious commodity… the future… and hope.” The Philly Youth Selfie Project started in 2021 soon after the building was acquired. Over 225 young people from all across the city have created beautiful self portraits that literally light up the neighborhood! \nWhen Mural Arts Philadelphia launched their We Will Write the World Literacy-Rich Neighborhood initiative\, it was a “real no-brainer” to collaborate and bring these two empowering ideas to life!
