"Staying Power" is here. This @Villagephilly x @Monument_Lab outdoor art exhibition & program series in the Fairhill-Hartranft neighborhood of #Philly asks: What is your staying power in your neighborhood? What is your staying power in a city & world that are rapidly changing?

[Remembering Shatzi ❤️ Weisberger Z''L @peoplesbubbie]

There is nothing "complicated" about displacing Palestinians from their homes.

There is nothing "complicated" about ethnic cleansing.

This is not a "conflict." This is not "complicated." Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The great thing about Philadelphia is you literally can't insult them. They take any attempt at insult as either a compliment or an offer to fight which is also a compliment in Philly.

"The making of a monument is an act of knowing and asserting. But for everyone a garden VIII was an act of questioning and discovering in this time of public contestation." @avivakapust on David Hart’s everyone a garden VIII

'People don't pay enough attention to the erasure of cultural meaning in places in conversations about displacement. It is fundamentally about power, not markets' - @Prof_MPastor cc: @ArtPlaceAmerica #WeAllThrive

Leading with racial equity means also requires reevaluating who your partners are, where you are invested, who is investing in you... @profjohnapowell @SPARCChub #WeAllThrive @Villagephilly

Leading with racial equity means talking about race, all the time, all people. The more you practice talking about race, the less you make mistakes, the less painful it becomes. — @Prof_MPastor @SPARCChub #WeAllThrive @Villagephilly

“Displacement is about power—over markets, over culture/meaning, over policy.” — @Prof_MPastor @sparcc #SPARCC #weallthrive @Villagephilly
