This evocative multimedia piece delves into the interplay between history, identity, and memory, challenging traditional narratives and offering new perspectives on historical memory through the voices of historic female characters and inanimate objects.
Apple Picking with Eve began as a poem over ten years ago, and has since transformed into a complex and layered work after Moss-Vreeland created 84 pages of mixed-media artwork and translated to film. Drawing from themes of perception, memory, and the reframing of historical narratives, the video explores how personal and collective identities are shaped, recorded, and reimagined. The piece features the voices of 6 local women of varying disciplines.
Date: Sunday, January 12, 2025
Time: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Location: Philadelphia Ethical Society, 1906 Rittenhouse Square

Historical Society of Pennsylvania presents Researching Building Ghosts: A Talk and Booksigning
2025-01-15 18:30 - 20:30 | Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, United States
Join author Molly Lester and photographer Michael Bixler to discuss their new book, Building Ghosts: Past Lives and Lost Places in a Changing City (Temple University Press, November 2024), and the ghosts that reveal new truths and provocations about the changing city. For this engaging event, Lester and Bixler explain and explore “Building ghosts,” the idiosyncratic remnants or imprints of demolished buildings, left behind on the sides of neighboring structures. Mostly seen in older Northeastern cities with rowhomes or party-wall adjacencies, they can reveal remarkable things, such as an old staircase going up the side of a building or plaster traces left by a set of shelves in an attic gable. As history in our changing cities is erased and remade, these ghosts can be ephemeral or enduring. They can be quickly revealed and replaced in a neighborhood seeing rapid change or unveiled and never re-covered in a neighborhood that has not seen new construction in substantial time. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania proudly offers this evening of discovery onsite and virtually with the book available for purchase onsite.

Philadelphia Magic Gardens presents ‘Lost Landscapes: The ‘Skin of the Bride’ mural by Isaiah Zagar’
2025-01-17 - 2025-03-23 | Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, 1020 South Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19147, United States
Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens unveils Lost Landscapes: The ‘Skin of the Bride’ mural by Isaiah Zagar, a new exhibition that serves as both a tribute to Isaiah Zagar’s “Skin of the Bride” mural and an archive of the community’s attempt to protect his remarkable contribution to public art. It offers a poignant look at the process of trying to save a significant cultural artifact while looking back in time at Zagar’s creation of the lost masterpiece.
Artist Isaiah Zagar’s mural “The Skin of the Bride” adorned the walls of the former Painted Bride Art Center and is a testament to his intricate and imaginative artistic vision. Completed in the 1990s, the 7,000-square-foot mosaic reflects Zagar’s signature style with its vibrant and eclectic use of materials. When the Painted Bride Art Center placed the building up for sale in 2017, the Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens team fought tirelessly for five years in attempts to protect the mural but were ultimately unsuccessful. When the mural faced demolition in 2023, the PMG preservation team worked diligently to salvage the unique tiles and components that made up the artwork featured in ‘Lost Landscapes.’
