Addressing the urgent civic issue of gun violence, Philadelphia is one of just eight cities to win this cycle of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge.From 2024-2025, Healing Verse Germantown engaged Germantown residents in 10 poetry workshops stewarded by Trapeta B. Mayson and Yolanda Wisher. For over a year, a selection of those poems have been featured weekly on the Healing Verse Poetry Line (1-855-POEMRX2), a 24/7 toll-free line offering mental health resources. Now, 19 poems written by Germantown residents during the workshops will have been curated by Rob Blackson into works of temporary public art, taking over the neighborhood and cultivating peace and resistance against gun violence in Germantown and throughout Philadelphia.Agenda🕑: 02:00 PMDoors Open🕑: 02:30 PMSpeaking Remarks🕑: 03:30 PMPoetry Activities & Guided Tours
