21st Century 30 Rockefeller... Anyone else see that in the new Comcast tower?Words by #WillieNelson, sticker by @brunofsky!❤️ these summer nights!This just really says it all: A photo today of @MichelleAngelaOrtiz's incredible 2015 installation for @MuralArts’ Open Source exhibition outside the I.C.E. building in Center City, Philadelphia. These words came from an undocumented immigrant mother, Ana, who was fighting with her daughter against their deportation... This installation was one in a series of temporary site-specific public art works, titled 'Familias Separadas,' that marked locations and documented stories of immigrant families affected by deportations in the city of Philadelphia. Read more about Michelle's 'Familias Separadas' now in the link in my bio. (Photo by @steveweinik) #FamiliasSeparadasWelcome to Philadelphia, Vice President Pence: Hope you liked our signs! Now fuck off and release the children and families your administration has detained.Mood courtesy of @marisa.vr, located on Chestnut street between 2nd and 3rd streets in #OldCity!New wheatpaste featuring an #AudreLorde quote delivered by the #FreshPrince, created by @mythny and located at Master and Howard streets in #Kensington!🌚WHO THE F*&K Approved This: Overnight it seems, the art that has wrapped the trash and recycling receptacles around Center City for the last few years disappeared, replaced by ads for Gary Barbera Autoland. What a gigantic step back for Philadelphia. Our public spaces are too damn valuable to be littered with “CHEAP!” ads at every intersection of our city’s most walked streets. Who is ultimately responsible for this? @PhillyMayor? City Council President @Darrell_Clarke? The Center City District (@ccdparks)? The (other) @PhilaStreets Department? Who do we hold to account, because we can not let this bullshit stand... Check out/share the link in my bio if you agree!LOVE this new mural collaboration by queer, Philly-based artists @SantiagoGaleas and Eva Wǒ at 11th and Hamilton streets that celebrates gender nonconformity (interview with the artists on the blog later this week!)... The mural was created to help kick off @inliquidart’s Art for the Cash Poor that’s happening tomorrow (Thursday): check out the link in @inliquidart’s bio now to learn more and get your tickets!Our first #ArtAtMission exhibition is now open: Come see @caloblacksand's new four-panel mural, titled Mission “Tropicalizada,” in @missiontaqueria's courtyard any day/time that they're open now through the end of August... Read/see more at the link in my bio now!LOVE this subversiveness: Philly artist @NDAStreetArt just painted a 3-story mural to Philly students across the street from a demolished public school in #WestPhilly...
