Chronicling Resistance is a project based in occupied Lenapehoking (Philadelphia) aiming to tell the stories of marginalized groups through historical archives and relate them to today’s liberation efforts. The exhibition reveals buried truths and explores oral histories with an intersectional lens.

Eric Okdeh is a Philadelphia mural and glass artist whose work is currently on display at Al-Bustan's Hub at 3645 Lancaster Avenue. Resident artist and curator of the exhibit, Lisa Volta, talks with Eric about his practice over the years, and the tangible effects of collective creation in communities.
