Rosine 2.0: Futures and Histories of Collective Care, organized by Carol Stakenas, shares processes, contexts, and histories that have shaped the work of Rosine Association 2.0, an interdisciplinary collective of artists, harm reductionists, healers, archivists, and community members involved in Philadelphia’s street economies. The exhibition features artworks interspersed with contextual materials from Friends Historical Library, Swarthmore College Peace Collection, and John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives, at the William Way LGBT Community Center.
Rosine 2.0 has grappled with historical legacies, envisioned liberatory futures, resisted isolation, and cultivated radical empathy. Located throughout McCabe Library, this exhibition offers artworks, ephemera, and documentation to explore the histories and creative practices of harm reduction and mutual aid found in Philadelphia.
