The summer 2018 group exhibition is produced in conjunction with the\u00a0AAMP Residency for Art and Social Change<\/strong>, which strives to advance the work artists of color from around the Philadelphia region\u2014while forging and deepening AAMP\u2019s relationships and impact in Philadelphia neighborhoods. The featured artists will be gleaned primarily from the Residency nominees, who use their work to process or respond to the constantly changing socio-political and cultural landscape.<\/p>\n

From Selma to Starbucks, these artists are reimagining \u201csafe spaces\u201d for black and brown people on an interplanetary level, documenting the effects of displacement and gentrification, mining their personal histories, and actively pushing out of their studios and into the communities not only as art makers, but as change makers.<\/p>\n

Artists include\u00a0Diane Allen, Lavett Ballard, Russell Craig, Joshua Graupera, Keir Johnston, Nile Livingston, Sherman Fleming, Betty Leacraft, James Maurelle, Tieshka K. Smith,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Shawn Theodore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Support for the research and development of the AAMP Residency for Art and Social Change has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

AAMP\u2019s exhibitions promote our mission to interpret art, history and culture. They\u00a0inspire, educate, promote dialogue, and bring together community.<\/div>\n
