This podcast was created at the Center for Experimental Ethnography at the University of Pennsylvania, a multimodal research hub that views creative practice as intellectual work that necessarily historicizes the inequalities that pervade our society, and that develops solutions for their present iterations through collaborative and participatory work.

This season was produced in connection to 2023 exhibit, "Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America", an AAMP and PAFA collaboration curated by Dejay Duckett (AAMP), Judith Tannenbaum (PAFA), Mekhala Signal (PAFA), Michael Wilson (AAMP). This exhibit brings together 20 artists to respond to the question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? The exhibit runs March 23 through Oct 8 of 2023 at the Historic Landmark Building in Philadelphia.

In this episode, Jeanne Lieberman speaks with Christina Vassallo and Katie Parry of The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Together, they explore how the museum unsettles a canon that reifies finished products and opens up the black box of artistic experimentation to Philadelphia publics in new ways. And they reflect on the ongoing work of transforming the forms of connection, collaboration, and conflict ​that emerge in museum workspaces.
