Others focus on birds, landscapes, or architecture.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>When she was growing up in Connecticut, Tackman said, her father raced cars as a hobby, and that may have ignited her passion for the subject. Her interest in immigrant rights goes back to about 2016, when she helped curate a show called \u201cLove Thy Neighbor\u201d at the Gravy Studio &amp; Gallery in Northern Liberties, which examined refugee life in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe are a sanctuary city,\u201d said Tackman, who helped found Artists for Immigrant Rights, and \u201cwe need to support our immigrant neighbors. \u2026 I feel like art and photography is such a good way to get people interested in the topic.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>People who go to the free show can meet and buy from acclaimed local photographers, with proceeds going to help immigration organizations via the Bread &amp; Roses Community Fund. The photographers donate their work, time, and costs.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>About 20 photographers will be stationed at individual tables, showing their pictures and answering questions about how and why they do what they do. Photos are priced at an intentionally affordable $20 to $200.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The event takes place from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Fleisher Art Memorial in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In the past year, Artists for Immigrant Rights and Bread &amp; Roses have raised more than $100,000 for grassroots organizations in the region. The money goes to support legal aid, organizing efforts, emergency assistance, and frontline defense for immigrant families.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The goal on Sunday, said David Acosta, one of the organizers, is of course to sell as many pictures as possible. Those sales and matching grants are what brings in money. Bread &amp; Roses then makes distributions to groups like VietLead, the Vietnamese-led organization, and Juntos, the Latino advocacy group based in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=188\">Anthropic vaults to a $965 billion valuation with new funding as Claude demand surges<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A photograph purchased at the show becomes more than art on a wall, Acosta said. It becomes advocacy, or emergency support, or legal representation.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cPeople can get really, really wonderful photographs by some prominent Philadelphia photographers at a low cost,\u201d he said, \u201cand help fund some of the work that\u2019s going on in immigrant communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The impetus for Artists for Immigrant Rights, he said, was the shock over the Trump administration\u2019s move into major American cities, some of which faced a surge of federal troops and immigration agents under the banner of increased public safety.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Acosta, the artistic director at Casa de Duende in Center City, said the works available on Sunday come from the photographers\u2019 private portfolios.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a small thing I can do to try to raise money and try to help out,\u201d said Rodney Atienza, the photographer son of Filipino immigrants, who\u2019ll take part on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>His work documents social-justice movements, including issues of mental health, poverty, disability and the old and sick. Recently he photographed Chinatown\u2019s struggle against the Sixers\u2019 plan to build a new arena on the edge of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Atienza was first inspired to consider those causes years ago, at James Madison University, during a class on protest and social movements during the 1960s. He later worked at Project Home in Philadelphia, where the walls displayed photographs shot by iconic local photographer Harvey Finkle.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Finkle \u2015 who also will be at the show on Sunday \u2015 became a friend and mentor.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And Finkle helped found Artists for Immigrant Rights.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The organization emerged as photographers noticed the strain that Trump immigration policies were causing for local advocacy organizations, Finkle said in an interview.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAll the stuff that ICE was doing, perpetuating on the immigrant community, the horror of it all,\u201d Finkle said, \u201cwe felt we needed to try to raise some money for groups doing the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=186\">SEPTA board approves overhaul of bus routes<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers say the exhibit is part show, part community gathering, and part act of solidarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":191,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
