Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in Philadelphia, the exhibition considers the dollar not simply as a financial instrument, but as a designed object embedded with political ideology, cultural mythology, and evolving systems of value.The exhibition expands Pomerantz’s ongoing body of research, Viriditas, named after the medieval concept describing “the force that causes the greening of the world,” which investigates the symbolic ecology and material construction of money through archival research, papermaking, ceramics, and dialogues with leaders in reparations and Land Back movements. By destabilizing and reconstructing the surfaces of familiar currency, Pomerantz positions money as both collective fiction and cultural artifact, while opening space to consider alternative economic imaginaries rooted in reciprocity, ecological stewardship, and collective care.A reading room, developed with Ulises, will accompany the exhibition presenting texts selected by the artist exploring economic repair, ecology, land stewardship, and decolonial futures.Studio 107: South Kensington Community Partners5–7 PMOpen StudioStudio 108: Complementary Floral Portraits at Ori Floral Design 6–9 PMEnjoy a floral portrait experience featuring floral designs by Ori Floral Design and photography by Abhi Sarkar from @asarkarphotos.Complimentary mini photo sessions are offered first-come, first-serve, and your edited photos will be delivered to you shortly after your session. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/second-thursday-open-studios-at-ray-philly/100001992837484562 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions, literary-art, food-drinks - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: 1525 N American St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: 1525 N American St - **lat**: 39.97458100000001 - **long**: -75.13959290000001 - **full address**: 1525 N American St, 1525 North American Street, Philadelphia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Second Thursday Open Studios at Ray Philly - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/990b11d33a755c640a23a31fc9279a805d66f1341861cd20a6f97839a27a0efc-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd8d5ce-gmir.jpg?v=1782865085 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Second Thursday Open Studios at Ray Philly being held? - **A:** Second Thursday Open Studios at Ray Philly takes place on Thu, 09 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 09 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 1525 N American St, 1525 North American Street, Philadelphia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Second Thursday Open Studios at Ray Philly? - **A:** Second Thursday Open Studios at Ray Philly is organized by Ray Philly. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
