Beginning May 10, National Liberty Museum (NLM) (321 Chestnut  Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106) hosts an ambitious multi-media exhibition, In Pursuit: Artists’  Perspectives on a Nation, curated by Philadelphia Sculptors. The exhibition features sculptures and large-scale installations by seven internationally acclaimed artists displayed across three of NLM’s four floors. In Pursuit: Artists’ Perspectives on a Nation is on display at NLM from May 10 to October 28, 2024. 

For the exhibition, Philadelphia Sculptors selected works by cross-disciplinary artist Anila Quayyum  Agha, sculptor Angel Cabrales, multi-disciplinary artist Nicholas Galanin, visual artist Arghavan  Khosarvi, social practice and fiber artist Arem Han Sifuentes, multi-disciplinary artist Artur Silva, and  multi-media project-based artist Marisa Williamson.  

As In Pursuit: Artists’ Perspective on a Nation unfolds, visitors are immersed in a narrative that encourages reflection and dialogue, catharsis and healing, fostering a profound cultural understanding and bearing witness to the power of art as a catalyst for positive change.
