    Our First Friday reception introduces the work of the 14 artists and ten families who collaborated to create Shelter. After Rebuilding Together Philadelphia helped the families restore their homes, the artists documented the stories of the lives within those walls. Meet the artists and the families and learn what shelter means to each of them. Artist Damon Reaves will perform a new work combining that combines audio and physical action. The performance and his drawings reflect conversations about race and identity that he had with the collaborating homeowner, interpreting shelter as “feeling at home in one’s skin” with both its protection and restrictions. Exhibition runs through December 31.
