B A G G A G E features artworks by Ginssiyo Apara that bring together discarded materials, plastic bags, and other trash. Trash haunts and represents the looming threat of being removed, an experience shared by many residents in West Philadelphia who confront rising costs of living and urban redevelopment. In challenging the boundaries between trash and art, Apara’s art reclaims discarded materials as objects of memory, community, and solidarity.
Friday, February 24, 6:00pm. Reception to follow.
