Throughout 2024, our Feast for the Forgotten initiative is exploring generative justice. Philadelphians are cultivating collaborative forums for grassroots cultural production, interdisciplinary storytelling, and resouce sharing. Feast for the Forgotten highlights public art, humanities, and ecology as means to inspire solidarity, reciprocity, and change. Join us as we imagine a shared future, while building creative communities of care. |
