Cross Road: Markings of a Place Holder is an interactive installation-based exhibition. The show is a collection of pieces that compose together the misconception, oppression, and struggles within identity.
From the artist: "As an artist, I use my own personal narrative to weave together pieces
of the complex but ever revolving puzzle that is race, class, gender
identity, sexuality, family and community. Using objects to convey and
mark each passage way of experience, I invite the audience to come
along with me through a journey of self reflection and pavement."
The 40th Street Artist-in-Residence Program awards West Philadelphia artists 1 year of free studio space at 40th & Chestnut Sts. In exchange, residents share their talents within West Philadelphia by leading workshops, teaching classes, exhibiting, etc. Founded by artist Edward M. Epstein in 2003 and managed by Gina Renzi since 2008, we address the need for studio space in West Philadelphia, assist artists with career development, and make the 40th Street area a nexus for visual arts.
