DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 1\, 6:30pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn More About the Show \n\n\n\n\nFREE EVENT | RSVP BELOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Name *Email Address *How many people are attending with you?Just me1 more person2 more people3 or more peopleRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nShifting Realities showcases a group of diverse artists whose practices confront our current landscape of political polarization and widespread doubt. Through their work\, these artists navigate paths toward stability and solace for themselves and their communities amid profound societal transformation. \n\n\n\nThis artist conversation is part of the exhibition whose theme asks a fundamental question: What constitutes our shared reality in an era when historical narratives face revision\, factual foundations erode\, and individual identities risk being silenced? \n\n\n\nJoin us at 6:30 p.m. at Taller for a discussion with artists Linette Messina Martinez\, Symone Salib\, and Kalila Jones about their work and the work in the show. Richie Lopez\, artist and Project Manager for Tramando will moderate the talk.ve actions employ sculpture\, media\, print\, live actions\, and cooking. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nSymone Salib \n\n\n\nSymone Salib is a first-generation Cuban/Egyptian muralist\, illustrator\, and trauma-informed educator whose art centers on community members’ storytelling through large-scale public installations. Firmly rooted in portraiture\, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center. By focusing on the voices and faces of marginalized communities\, Symone uses her art to uplift and amplify those who are often overlooked. \n\n\n\nLinette Messina Martinez\n\n\n\nLinette Messina Martinez is a photographer and textile artist. For years\, she has been creating yarn art on Philadelphia streets. Her work beautifies\, celebrates\, and connects people to their neighborhoods. Her monumental work for the exhibition Threads of Sicilian Passage looked at a loss\, the death of someone special\, and the change in family structure as an opportunity for rebirth. \n\n\n\nKalila Jones\n\n\n\nKalila Jones is a multidisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia\, PA\, whose art explores the intersections of their identity through material exploration. She uses yarn\, found textiles\, hair accessories\, and dollar store craft supplies to make collaged textile garments and sculptures that evoke joy and nostalgia. Their use of material helps them navigate what it means to express a sense of unapologetic self in a society that often presents race & gender as monolithic experiences.
