Hatchlab Grantees 2018

Camae Ayewa (LTA '15, ACG '07), and board member Rasheedah Phillips (together the Black Quantum Futurism Collective) received the 2018 Hatchlab grant for their work on Community Futurisms. Their project is an ongoing collaborative art + research project exploring the impact of redevelopment, gentrification, and displacement within the North Philly neighborhood known as Sharswood. In this iteration, the collaborators will produce an interactive and participatory art exhibition based on this extraordinary legacy. The exhibition will feature the work of multiple local artists and storytellers, and will include writing, co-created zine production, collage art, film, soundscapes, and sculpture. The vision of Community Futurisms also includes oral history/oral futures interviews with surviving individuals from PAE, as well as a series of story workshops, affordable housing discussions, and collaborative art-making activities. 

Additionally, Media Mobilizing Project and PhillyCAM received grants from Humble patch.
