Yeah, no; I didn't like it.
A #Philly tradition since 2006, 'This Is the Week That Is' attempts to wring mirth from the news, but this year’s iteration ranges from offensive to baffling.

Fantastic retrospective @WoodmereArt Museum in Chestnut Hill, PA: "Barbara Bullock: Fearless Vision," thru Jan 21, 2024. Inspiring solo show--visit while the weather is beautiful & trees in fall-color glory. Thanks, @broadstreview for boosting #phillyarts bit.ly/3Q3QA5E

I highly recommend this production of 'All That Fall.' We're lucky to have Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium in Philadelphia. @IRCTheaterCo
'All That Fall', a hilarious and unsettling jaunt to a train station in 1950s Ireland, is expertly staged by Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium in this year's Fringe, offering laughs right up to gut-punch finish.

Thank you, @broadstreview, for bringing many voices, including mine, into conversations about art, life, and culture. #phillyarts #phillyculture #modernloss #hospice #lifeafterloss
Emily B. Schilling cared for her dying mother at home and, about a decade later, she faced a similar goodbye to her husband. Hospice is exhausting and heartbreaking, but she doesn’t regret one moment of it.:

Almost a month ago, I adopted two kittens, brothers. They are so much fun and love--and much pleased with life, thanks to the amazing foster home they stayed in, rather than the shelter itself. Thank you, foster family, and @phillypaws
Terrific exhibition/food drive: "Corner Stories," by Eustace Mamba, Jake Weiss, and Nasir Young, at Da Vinci Art Alliance, Phila. Gorgeous artworks about the role of corner stores in cities. Closes Aug. 20 with an artist talk, noon–2 pm. tinyurl.com/5n8h7k3n #phillyarts
Visitors' gifts of food and toiletries become part of the exhibit; when "Corner Stories" closes on Aug. 20, the donations will be given to Bebashi - Transition to Hope in Philadelphia. @DVArtAlliance @bebashi #DVArtAlliance #Bebashi davinciartalliance.org/corne…
What it was like nursing loved ones in 2010 and 2021: "The Heartbreaking Luxury of Home Hospice Care" in @broadstreview August special essay issue. Thanks, #Broadstreview tinyurl.com/yc4t5us4 #Grief #loss #modernloss
Thank you, Broad Street Review! Special issue coming next week....
Earthy, real and worth every moment...

It's Broad Street Review's Book Week! A fantastic benefit from writing art reviews for @broadstreview is the reading recommendations sparked by the art. Thanks to the Mashrabiya Project @museumforartinwood I'm reading Nobel Prize-winner Naguib Mahfouz's 'The Cairo Trilogy.' ...
Completely loving the books, and feeling the characters and plot are immediately relatable yet nothing like my life. A privilege to visit their time and place, thanks to an artwork called 'Amina's Tears' by Nadia Kaabi-Linke. #BSRBookWeek tinyurl.com/2uk89dsn

This exhibition at @ThePrintCenter in Philadelphia is varied and gorgeous. Valenzuela is among the artists who remind me to reread books, and "Rodrigo Valenzuela: Workforce" pairs well with George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-four. #pillyarts #phillyculture
The Print Center presents 'Rodrigo Valenzuela: Workforce,' a surreal mixed-media exhibition about work, industry, power, and people.

Brava to the artists bringing new perspectives to the #mashrabiya - Anila Quayyum Agha
@anilaqagha, Nidaa Badwan, Susan Hefuna, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Majida Khattari, and Hoda Tawakol in a terrific exhibition at Philadelphia's Museum for Art in Wood @museumartinwood
Six international artists at the @museumartinwood explore the #mashrabiya, widely used throughout the Islamic world as cooling structures, or boundaries—between public and private life, men and women, women and visibility.

I keep going back to this space ... #RoseBSimpson installation at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia is extended through May 7.
Internationally known mixed-media artist Rose B. Simpson adds architectural installation and video work to her wide-ranging repertoire for the first time in this special exhibition at the @fabricworkshop:

A privilege to think deeply about this show....
Three artists with roots in Pakistan, the Philippines, and Iran offer reality checks on the stories we’re told in a powerful mixed-media exhibition at Twelve Gates Arts in #OldCity.
