About this Event

Superfund Radio Garden is a project of the Biomaterials Working Group, exploring the history of the remediated Metal Bank Superfund site, currently under EPA supervision and located on the Delaware River.

The public is invited to visit a self-guided walking path in the Superfund Radio Garden where textile sculptures printed with plant-based inks on salvaged fabrics mark a series of temporary radio listening stations. The successive transmissions and soft imagery weave together questions and answers, both poetic and factual, about the past and future of a contaminated site.

Visitors may sign up for free timed entry to the Superfund Radio Garden in groups of 1 - 4 people on Saturday, April 18, 2026 between 3 - 6pm.

This public event is a project from the Biomaterials Working group, in partnership with the Eco-Social Salon, Site-Seeing, and Screening Series (ESSSSSS) and the Recycled Artist-in-Residency Program (RAIR), with support from the Fabric Workshop and Museum.
