SUMMARY:PHILADELPHIA IN COLOR Kickstarter Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Help us celebrate the launch of our Kickstarter for PHILADELPHIA IN COLOR\, 1950-1990!\n\n\nJoin Hidden City at Paradigm Gallery + Studio to celebrate our Kickstarter launch for PHILADELPHIA IN COLOR\, 1950-1990\, a first-of-its-kind color photographic history of Philadelphia! \nMingle with fellow Hidden City supporters\, take in the galleries\, enjoy light drinks and snacks\, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the photo research and curation process. \nWe also invite you to bring your own vintage Philly photos (or negatives or slides) to submit to the project — we can scan & digitize them for you right there on the spot! \n \nABOUT PHILADELPHIA IN COLOR: \nHidden City is working with archives\, libraries\, community organizations and amateur and professional photographers to amass photos\, slides and negatives. The book was publicly announced and opened to individual submissions in November 2024. So far over 1\,000 images have been identified for potential inclusion\, and Hidden City will continue collecting photos from the public via phillyincolor.org/submit through April 2025. \nWe have specific criteria for photos to ensure that the final images aren’t just visually compelling\, but also support our goal of illustrating what living in Philadelphia was actually like in those times. To that end\, we’re prioritizing photos of street life\, neighborhoods in transition\, slice-of-life candids\, as well as places and cultural touchstones that no longer exist today. \nSoon\, we’ll begin the process of narrowing down the photos that will make it into the book\, with input from public historians\, plus art and photography curators. In the end\, we hope to have a stunning collection of photos that will be meaningful to Philadelphians of every neighborhood and walk of life. Publication is slated for Summer 2026. \nFor more information\, visit phillyincolor.org

SUMMARY:Parfleche Painting Workshop with Danielle SeeWalker
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an accessible workshop painting parfleche pieces for earrings or a keychain led by Lakota artist Danielle SeeWalker.\n\n\nAn introductory course led by Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta artist and muralist Danielle Seewalker. During this workshop on the 2nd Floor of the Paradigm Arts Building\, attendees will learn about the patterns and techniques used in parfleche painting. At the end of the workshop\, attendees will walk away with custom earrings or a keychain made from parfleche (painted rawhide). \nNo experience is needed. All skill levels are welcome. All materials will be provided. \nThere will be two sessions for the workshops. We are offering early bird pricing to the first 5 people who sign up for each session. \nFirst Session: Saturday\, December 7th · 12:00pm – 2:00pm \nSecond Session: Saturday\, December 7th · 3:00pm – 5:00pm \nThe name “parfleche” was initially used by French fur traders and derives from the French language parer meaning “to parry” or “to defend”\, and flèche meaning “arrow”. “Parfleche” was used to describe tough rawhide shields carried by Plains Indian warriors but was later used primarily for decorated rawhide containers. Plains Indian tribes often had an abundant source of hides in the buffalo they hunted\, but\, as they were nomadic\, they had little opportunity to tan the skins. Parfleche\, or rawhide\, was prepared by cleaning and dehairing the skin and then by stretching it and allowing it to dry in the sun. This process created a stiff but durable leather that was used for many items\, including bags\, boxes\, envelopes\, and war shields. Designs historically consisted of geometric shapes and symbols in primary colors. \nToday\, many contemporary Plains Indian artists evolved the idea of parfleche by making earrings\, bracelets\, wallets\, etc (examples below). \nThis event will accompany Danielle SeeWalker’s featured collection\, which will be on display throughout the month of December. \nAbout Danielle SeeWalkerDanielle SeeWalker is Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta and citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota. She is a fine artist\, muralist\, writer\, activist\, and boymom of two\, based in Denver\, Colorado. Her visual artwork often incorporates the use of mixed media and experimentation while incorporating traditional Native American materials\, scenes\, and messaging. Her artwork pays homage to her identity as a Lakȟóta wíŋyaŋ (woman) and her passion to redirect the narrative to an accurate and insightful representation of contemporary Native America while still acknowledging historical events. \nAbout Paradigm Gallery + StudioParadigm Gallery + Studio® was established in 2010 by co-founders and curators\, Jason Chen and Sara McCorriston. The gallery exhibits meaningful\, process-intense contemporary artwork by emerging and mid-career artists from around the world. In 2022\, Paradigm announced the opening of its new 5-story\, 7\,000 sq. ft. home\, The Paradigm Arts Building\, in Old City\, Philadelphia. Now open to the public\, the building boasts multiple floors of exhibition space\, integrated in-house design and printmaking\, a dedicated events floor\, and art advisory offices. With this\, Chen and McCorriston expanded their vision for the greater Philadelphia arts community. The gallery is at the heart of this vision\, anchoring Paradigm’s overall mission of increasing access to the commercial art world\, supporting artists and advancing their careers\, and collaborating with like-minded partners to build a more equitable\, sustainable arts economy for all.

SUMMARY:Tä:  Harmonious Dynamics with Goni Shifron and Uri Hershberg
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation of a participatory art piece that combines art and science.\n\n\n“Tä” \nHarmonious Dynamics: Exploring Emergent Cooperation through Participatory Art and Brain Activity \n“Tä” is an art participatory piece that emerged from joint research between Goni Shifron (artist) and Uri Hershberg (scientist). A collaboration of art and science aiming to identify the moment when individual actions merge into adaptive group dynamics. In “Tä”\, we invite the audience to be part of an immersive experience of art and have unique access and contribution to scientific research. \nTä is for 12 participants. Following simple rules\, each individual will move pebbles between piles on a table and the group will together create the dynamics of the entire population. Participating in Tä reveals large questions about harmonious dynamics that each of us can relate to our own way of interpretation (symbolic\, geographic\, sociological\, and esthetic considerations). \nFor the next presentation of Tä we will for the first time\, give some of the participants special wireless wearable headbands which can be used to measure brain activity. This event will act also as a first pilot study for an international research team studying how cooperation and synchrony emerge from the interaction of unconnected individuals. \n \nDETAILS: \nFriday\, August 30\, 2024 \nFirst Session begins at 4:30 PM*Doors open at 4:00 PM\, performance begins at 4:30 PM* \nSecond Session begins at 6:00 PM*Doors open at 5:30 PM\, performance begins at 6:00 PM* \nOpen discussion with the artist and researchers after each session. \nTickets are available for both participants and observers. If you choose a participant ticket\, we will be in touch by email with more details ahead of the event and will also send a release form since this performance will be recorded for documentation and research purposes. \nParadigm Arts Building\, 3rd Floor Gallery12 N. 3rd StreetPhiladelphia\, PA 19106 \n \nGoni Shiforn is an Israeli artist living and working in Paris. She graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 2016. Across her own work and collaborations\, Goni explores intimate and universal stories through various mediums (installation\, performance\, photography). \nUri Hershberg is a Professor of Biology and the director of the Center for Biophysics and Quantitative Biology at the University of Haifa. He studies how complex living systems learn through interaction with their environments\, mostly\, but not always\, by studying the adaptive immune system. He tries in his research to create true stories about biology. \nHasan Ayaz is an Associate Professor at Drexel University School of Biomedical Engineering Science and Health Systems. His research is focused on unraveling the complexities of human brain functioning through mobile neuroimaging. He utilizes next-generation brain sensing technologies and neuro/physiological data analytic approaches with applications ranging from aerospace to healthcare. \nLuciano Perondi is a typeface\, graphic and game designer. He was appointed associate professor of Design at the IUAV Venice in 2018 and he is also a member of the Alpaca and Cast\, cooperatives of designers. Often within a theoretical approach\, his interests are focused on visual studies\, writing\, typography\, games and information design mostly in a design for all perspective. In particular he focuses on the empirical study of visual syntax\, also known as synsemia\, a foundational aspect of graphic design.
