Makeba Rainey: LESS IS MORE, The Nature of Letting Go The Schuylkill Center presents the solo exhibition “LESS IS MORE: The Nature of Letting Go” by Philadelphia-based visual artist and community organizer Makeba Rainey. Her artwork blends layers of imagery of ancestors, Black Liberation leaders, and local figures from the African-American community. By harvesting from the environmental initiatives and voices in Philadelphia and creating meditative and self-reflective spaces in the gallery and outdoors, Rainey’s artwork will shed light on the practicalities, emotionalities, and resiliencies that sustain Black communities in our metropolis.

Aqua Marooned! (an interactive card game) We have launched a unique and delightful card game the whole family can play on site. Stroll along our trails while quizzing each other on local plants and animals, composing poems about spaces you encounter, honoring the Lenape peoples who have traditionally stewarded the land—all the while deepening your connection to the natural world around you. Pick up a free deck of cards at our Visitor Center. This is a collaboration with the performing arts collective Swim Pony. More Information HERE 
PAST PROJECTS
Al-Mudhif – A Confluence Al Mudhif – A Confluence was an outdoor art installation by Sarah Kavage and Yaroub Al-Obaidi and an accompanying exhibition that explored notions of belonging and healing amidst the current moment of careful reconnection. Entirely built out of the invasive wetland grass phragmites, the installation and gallery display provided a welcoming space for intercultural encounters here while offering a critical perspective on global migration of plants and people.

UNLOCK:Tree Water Land July 27 – August 6, 2021 The Schuylkill Center welcomed artist collective Propelled Animals for a two-week performance-in-residency to explore the site-responsive outdoor project UNLOCK: Tree Water Land. UNLOCK builds on the urgent contemporary movements of Black Lives Matter and WATERisLIFE. It centers knowledge and practices from environmental justice, anti-racism, and healing lineages grounded in the body. The collective presented a final performance on Friday, Aug 6, 2021.
