Home Sweet Home, PHLASSEMBLED
Philadelphia Museum of Art, Perelman Atrium, October 24, 2017
Home Studio Lab facilitates an interactive workshop that provides a framework for participants to share their own family histories surrounding their homes, and how the Federal Housing Administration, the GI Bill, and the practices of racial covenants and redlining impacted their family history. Participants use their shared stories to draw/stitch pictures and/or write family narratives, that are collected for side-by side display, and serve as entry points for reflective discussion on alternative perspectives of privilege and wealth.
The results from the Philadelphia Assembled workshops were added to the "City Panorama". The redlining workshops are on going.
