#phlassembled

Have you noticed this set of keys hanging in the “Framework of an Affordable House” at Philadelphia Assembled? They are a stark representation of the themes of gentrification and displacement that collaborators have been addressing through their work for many years, and now through the work of PHLA. The keys belong to Brujo de la Mancha, who spent 18 years moving throughout the city. Each key represents another property he was forced to vacate due to rapid gentrification. Visit us to learn how Philadelphians are advocating for fair housing practices, or pick up a guide made by our collaborators on “Becoming a Just Neighbor.” PHLA is on view through Dec 10 at the Perelman Building. Admission is Pay What You Wish. 

Thank you so much to everyone who braved the elements to come out to the exhibition Walk-through and discussion with @abladeofgrassnyc fellows #BlackQuantumFuturism and @reentrythinktank as part of their installations in @phlassembled exhibition! Really amazing discussion with attendees, community members, and collaborators. Last day to see the exhibit tomorrow!

Take a quick look inside “Philadelphia Assembled,” the first exhibition of its kind at the Museum. Hosts are on hand daily to guide you through this powerful and timely installation through Dec 10. Admission is Pay What You Wish.

The first Sunday of every month is Pay What You Wish admission at the Museum. Be one of the first to see Old Masters Now, don't miss "Marcel Duchamp and the 'Fountain' Scandal" before it closes in Dec, and head across the street to the Perelman Building to see Philadelphia Assembled. There's always something new to see.
