Join the Second Thursday Reception at InLiquid Gallery in the Crane Building, Philadelphia, for the much-anticipated event, beLONGING. This group exhibition showcases the work of four talented LGBTQIA+ artists: Carmel Dor, THECOLORG, Abbey Muza, and Meg Wolensky. Each artist explores the concept of identity, delving into what shapes our sense of self and how we connect with others. Through mediums such as painting, textiles, and soft sculpture, these artists create a powerful dialogue that spans time and space, incorporating elements of mythology, poetry, archival research, and personal experiences.

Abbey Muza's tapestries and Meg Wolensky's paintings bring together fragmented pieces to form complete narratives, while THECOLORG's soft sculptures blur the boundaries between physical and digital existence. Carmel Dor's paintings celebrate the transformative nature of transition and the passage of time. Together, these artworks examine the intricate bonds of community, kinship, and desire, exploring the different aspects of belonging in both inherited and chosen worlds.

In addition to the exhibition, beLONGING offers an interactive zine-making station featuring materials from the artists, as well as a pop-up reading room filled with books and zines that reflect the exhibition's themes. These resources serve as opportunities for visitors to connect with one another and engage with the artworks on a deeper level.

This event is part of the citywide project (re)FOCUS, a collaboration among more than 25 visual arts institutions in Philadelphia, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of FOCUS, a groundbreaking exhibition of American women artists held in 1974. In revisiting FOCUS, (re)FOCUS showcases a new generation of diverse artists exploring gender, sexuality, and intersectional identity.

Don't miss the beLONGING Second Thursday Reception on February 8, 2024, at InLiquid Gallery. Admission is free, offering an inclusive space for all to experience the power of art and find a sense of belonging.

老肖瞧瞧

I have to say that the Penn Museum is also a No. 1 museum. The exhibits are rich, unique, and academic. In particular, the Chinese national treasures in the Asian Pavilion are moving... The consulting service is also very satisfactory. The Egyptian Pavilion is under renovation, but some of the cultural relics have been merged into other pavilions. The national treasures of Mesopotamia in the Middle East and the Mayan Aztec civilization in New America are astonishing. There are really piles of ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics. The underground special exhibition even has an introduction to the U2 aircraft incident in 1960... In short, the Penn Museum is worth the trip!

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

Independence National Historical Park

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.

Independence Hall

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Liberty Bell

Needless to say, the reputation of the Freedom Bell naturally feels like the Independence Palace can become a must-check place for Philadelphia attractions, as if every time you come to Philadelphia, you will also check in ritually. The two are also very close. Walking across the road is that the exhibition hall is open to the public for free. There is no need to buy tickets. The Independence Palace needs to book on the official website in advance. The ticket reservation fee of 1 yuan. The Free Bell has a separate exhibition hall, and the entrance needs to be checked. You can visit up close, you can walk to the free clock, you can surround 360 degrees before, but this time only opened 180 degrees, the other half stopped, but this advantage is that you can unlock a background free clock. The Liberty Bell was originally a palace in the Independence Palace, but was later displayed in the memorial on the lawn due to the cracking of the bell body. This time, the display stage at the visitor center was empty to another point of knowledge. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752, it first appeared a crack, and after several repairs there were cracks, so it was abandoned. And it was the clock that struck on July 4, 1776. The free clock has also experienced several migrations. Although the location of each relocation is not far away, people are still worried that there will be more serious cracks. They have also installed a microvariable displacement sensor that can test the movement of one millionth of a meter to test whether it is suitable for relocation. Every tour seems to unlock different little knowledge points, which is probably a great pleasure to travel.
