In the News: The Waltonian pens a festival preview
The student newspaper called out projects including "Iron and Paper" and Blacktronika.
The Waltonian, Eastern University's student paper, published a preview of ArtPhilly's inaugural festival.
There are so many different things you can experience during the festival ranging from all different types of art. One type of art they have is visual art and there are so many different projects being showcased. Colette Fu’s “Iron and Paper: Unfolding Philadelphia’s Chinatown” will be showcased at the Crane Community Center. It’s a large-scale pop-up book that encourages visitors to “consider the cultural contributions of Philadelphia’s Chinatown and the future of democracy.” Emily Schreiner and Liz Yohlin Baill are showcasing their project “What can you do while you’re waiting” in multiple areas of the city. It’s a public art takeover using the poster spaces in septa bus shelters to encourage “intergenerational creative conversations about the surrounding vicinity.” These are only a few of the many visual art projects being showcased at the festival.
