EXHIBITION TITLE

​

VISUAL VOICES

Public Art & Protest in Philadelphia

BIG IDEA

 

Philadelphia’s artists respond to current-day crises

of injustice and inequality by creating work in public

spaces that reclaims power and aims to cause change

in their communities.

MISSION 

​

By highlighting the works of artists and socially engaged organizations fighting for equality and justice, the Visual Voices exhibition reveals the current landscape of public art, ways that artists are responding to current day societal imbalances through their artistic expressions, and shows ways of putting the power in the hands of the public to creatively re-imagine public spaces in their city.
