Stay tuned, MUCH more on the blog tomorrow!PHL💗Mood today courtesy of this brilliant installation by @sheldon_incollabwith... The installation is apart of Sheldon’s #CrossCityCommunication series that's aimed at highlighting ephemeral moments in our quickly changing city and connecting Philadelphians across neighborhoods... Installed in an old abandoned pay-phone on 52 Street in West Philly, Sheldon wrote the following about this piece to his Instagram: “52nd Street represents a part of the city’s history of black owned business and economic sovereignty. From the African Cultural Art Forum (ACAF) to the bulls selling tees from sidewalk stands, individuals are working to provide for themselves and their families on their own terms. I felt fortunate to get to explore that zone this summer while working on the PHL Assembledproject and now enjoy going out there when I have time to cop sunglasses from the sidewalk stands (best cheap pairs I’ve found in a while,) grab some Jamaican food from the spot on the corner of Locust, and go chill in the park.... I thought this photo of a shop owner holding a million balloons (count them, it’s definitely a million) represents the vibe and energy you feel out there walking the street.” (📷 by @ericinphilly)Y’ALL: A Philly legend (and all around incredible human) needs your support right now: Click the link in my bio now to learn how you can help @steamrollen #KillCancer this weekend...
