Corner Stories
Philadelphia is a city of rapid growth and change, yet the lingering effects of segregation remain deeply rooted. This exhibition by Nasir Young, Eustace Mamba, and Jake Weiss (members of the Philadelphia-based Alchemy Art Ensemble) explored the nuanced realities of food insecurity, environmental racism, and access disparities through the lens of local corner stores and community spaces.
Highlighting that 25% of Philadelphians face food insecurity, the show partnered with Bebashi – Transition to Hope to host a food drive, supporting their Food First Pantry. Through their art, the artists aimed to document these challenges while inspiring collective action within the arts community.
Yikui (Coy) Gu and Eustace Mamba at Commonweal Gallery
July 2022
In a world that, over the past century, has developed into a truly global society, approximately 272 million people (1 in 30) live outside their country of birth or citizenship as of 2020. In America, as of 2019, 18.2 million children (1 in 4) had at least one immigrant parent. Both Gu and Mamba are recipients of these legacies as first-generation Americans born to Chinese and Antiguan parents, respectively. Growing up between two worlds - one that situates itself in the private space of family and expatriate community and one in the public sphere - has resulted for them both in a hyper-sensitivity to cultural nuance which they engage within their works to interrogate the politics surrounding the construction (or deconstruction) of identity.
