Maria Schneider‘s “Walking OneCity” is now part of the permanent collection of OneCity Residential building. Each one of the 13 panels depicts the connection between some of the most iconic buildings of Philadelphia history. ” Walking OneCity” takes you in a stroll around Philadelphia finding its most iconic buildings, telling the story of what you see and what it may be now forgotten. Each mirrored panel draws the viewer in by including them in its reflection, making their image part of the work.

Ada Trillo‘s latest project, La Luz de La Libertad has won the 2021 Art and Change Grant from the Leeway Foundation! This project will educate and promote the rights of LGBTQ refugees who have been granted asylum or are in the process of getting it. Dependent on COVID restrictions,  La Luz de La Libertad will become an interactive exhibit composed of conceptual photography and handwritten stories and a website providing information on the resources available in both the U.S and Mexico, in both English and Spanish.
