Opening reception: Friday, October 29, 6:00 – 9:00 pm
Voices and Visionaries, a new Philadelphia Sculptors exhibition, arrives at Philadelphia’s Cherry Street Pier on October 29, 2021, bringing with it a wealth of talent from an inclusive and diverse group of exceptional artists having ties to the city.
A collaboration between the exhibition curators and seven selected artists, the show highlights individual expression while exposing threads of commonalities amongst the group of Black, Asian, and Latinx artists. Multimedia installations, as well as traditional and non-traditional sculptures will populate different locations on the pier. On view from October 29, 2021 – January 28, 2022, the exhibition is free and open to the public. A public opening reception will be held from 6:00 – 9:00 pm on Friday, October 29, which will include artistic, musical, and dance performances by two of the artists, Eiko Fan and Taji Ra’oof Nahl.
Process was a key element of the project and artists were involved from the start in the exhibition’s development. Although representing different age groups, cultures and genders, the artists found ways to connect with each other. Conversations amongst the artists and curators created the structural basis for the exhibition, allowing for the emergence of themes that include personal and cultural history; immigration; relationship to the land; and changing physical, social and political environments.
Participating artists are Syd Carpenter, Eiko Fan, Lucia Garzón, Mei-ling Hom, Taji Ra’oof Nahl, Jermaine Ollivierre, and Heryk Tomassini.
