Don’t let a pandemic stand in the way of your voice being heard! This election season, a majority of Americans are eligible to vote by mail. Many states have deadlines to request mail-in ballots less than two weeks before Election Day, but the Postal Service recommends that voters request mail-in ballots by October 19 to ensure that ballots are returned on time. 

Head to vote.org today for everything you need to prepare!

F-stop Matters … *** 'In Perpetuity’ by Duane Linklater

All Power to All People, by Hank Willis Thomas, as part of Monument Lab. 

In Spring 2015, Monument Lab: Creative Speculations for Philadelphia – a team of curators, scholars, students, and artists – organized a public art and historical research project at Philadelphia’s City Hall. The project asked Philadelphians a central guiding question: What is an appropriate monument for the current city of Philadelphia? Over 35,000 engaged with the project at the essential civic crossroads of the city, the courtyard of City Hall. Take a look at this new video trailer to revisit Monument Lab!
