Surf Community Responds to Dangerous Debris
In late July, the Delaware Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation was alerted to a hazardous situation at North Indian River Inlet beach by surfer, Surfrider Foundation volunteer, and community organizer Crystal Stokowski. Long buried road construction materials including concrete, asphalt and rebar, have been uncovered by the narrowing of the beach, leading to beach goer injuries.

Synapsis Universum
Solo exhibition with work on view by Reuben Francois
Opening Friday, August 5th, 2022
844 North Broad Street Philadelphia PA
Reuben Francois is a painter, interested in the way art can be used as a tool for expressing esoteric ideas of life. Currently, he is completing a series of works named “Diagrams”. The series centers on the concept of syncretism; the idea that many religions and cultures have similar stories and archetypes. Symbolism, in the Carl Jung school of thought, is a major part in Reuben’s creative and theoretical decision making. For Reuben, symbols serve as a way to express the inexpressible. By collecting symbols in a picture plane, painting brushes the shoulders of metaphysics.
His work is both a declaration of his personal philosophy as well as an emanation of his own spiritual journey; a time capsule to his 23 years experienced on Spaceship Earth.

Animation Brüt
Wednesday, June 22nd at 8:30pm in the backyard. 844 North Broad Street Philadelphia
Animation Brüt is a rejection of conventional storytelling and image making. It embraces the gestural, the fervent, and the fevered dreamers of sequential imagery. Animation has limits, Animation Brüt embraces them and licks the wrapping for more flavour. Featuring CGI lacerations, hammered steel stop motion, and queer yearnings fuzzed out on magnetic tape. Curated by Sam Gurry, Animation Brüt is a night of experimental animation, presenting 12 films by creators outside its traditional paradigm who seek to break down its boundaries.

CRY TAKEOVER
Teen artist activist collective Creative Resilient Youth (CRY) will host a takeover of Space 1026 gallery in Philadelphia from June 3 to 5, shedding light on youth experiences of mental health and strategies to respond to injustices in care.
CRY is an intergenerational collective promoting equitable mental health care for young people in Philadelphia. CRY’s teen artists engage in a two-year program of co-learning, socially-engaged art making, and leadership training. The TAKEOVER event series is the culmination of a new cohort of young artists’ first year in CRY.
Events during the TAKEOVER exhibition include an opening celebration on Friday, June 3 from 6:00-9:00PM and a panel discussion on Sunday, June 5 bringing the current cohort of CRY teen artists in conversation with representatives from previous generations of the program, which was initiated by the Creative Resilience Collective in 2018.
CRY TAKEOVER 2022 exhibits artwork created by 11 emerging Philadelphia-area artists. After six months of exploring self-care, artmaking, and social critique in CRY, these teens highlight important opportunities for intergenerational community dialogue about mental health care and chances for collaborative action to improve outcomes for them and their peers.
