Community
Visions Premiere
Join
us for a celebration of the completion of the latest videos
produced by participants in Scribe’s Community Visions program.
Every year these programs seem to resonate with what is
most in the minds of Philadelphian’s across the city.
This year all the groups have made videos all linked by a common
theme of education.
The
Samuel S. Fleischer Art Memorial is the oldest
and largest tuition fee community-based arts school in the nation.
Present and former students have collaborated on documentary
about the importance of art making and the need to restore arts
programming in the Philadelphia public schools.
The
Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP)
is a 30 year old, all volunteer school for adults
that began out of struggles in 1970s to make Temple University
more responsive to the African American community where the
University is based. Their video is a celebration of the history
and the influence this institution has had and all the incredible
artists and educators who have come through PASCEP’s doors.
Shaw
Middle School,
a city public school, is creating a videotape to document their
new Resistance Through the Arts school-within-a-school and the
creation of the Sonia Sanchez Literacy Center as a way to interest
community residents.
The
COLOURS Organization’s mission
is to garner the strengths and talents of sexual minority people
of color – male, female, transgender, African American, Latino,
Asian American to construct an affirming and caring community.
Their video illuminates the lives and circumstances of LGBTQ
youth in the public school system.

Admission.
