"I'm a lesbian anarchist born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. The Main Library was my neighborhood library from age 10 to age 16 and I love the Free Library of Philadelphia." -- Zoe Strauss
An FLP exhibition titled "Documentary PIX: Philadelphia, A Century of Change" is open in Parkway Central's West Gallery now through April 29 in conjunction with the Robert F. Looney Memorial Event. Curated by Stephen Perloff and Blaise Tobia, the exhibition features photographs and images of an ever-changing Philadelphia throughout the 20th century from several contemporary artists, including Jim Abbott, Noah Addis, Michael Bucher, John Dowell, Vincent Feldman, Harvey Finkle, Joseph Labolito, Karen Lightner, Daniel Lobdell, Laurence Salzmann, Sandy Sorlien, Jeffrey Stockbridge, Zoe Strauss, Daniel Traub, and John Woodin. While both photography and Philadelphia may look very different and rely on vastly different technologies than they did a century ago, the core of what they are about is essentially unchanged.
