Ahead of the Philadelphia Premiere of Larissa Fasthorse’s The Thanksgiving Play, Curio will honor the Lenape of Pennsylvania with an art installation.
Join us on Indigenous People’s Day!
Monday October 14th at 11am
Curio will present an empty octagonal flower bed in front of its building. There will be a sign asking the community to fill it with Lenape soil provided near the installation. This would be designed to create a tangible land acknowledgement. With the art installation, there will be information to encourage members of the community to sign a petition to get Pennsylvania to formally acknowledge the Lenape as the first inhabitants of Pennsylvania and a scanner code to allow people to donate directly to the Lenape of Pennsylvania.
Chief Bluejay will also be in attendance at
the opening on October 14.
We hope you will join us!
