art & culture

When I first learned that Philadelphia Student Union would be starting a soundtrack group, I was super excited. I’ve always wanted to be a part of the music industry, and being a part of this group has given me the chance to pursue my dream.
 

MMP is spending the week in Washington DC for the annual meetings of our partner and ally organizations through the Media and Democracy Coalition along with the Media Action Grassroots Network (MAG-Net).
 
Some of those folks brought the media, art and cultural agenda to the hill in meetings with the Obama Administration. Read the full story over at the Washington Post of the amazing work to make sure the arts are part of our national picture.

"Philadelphia has been instrumental in creating more of an activist gaze for me and also grounding me as an artist...  We are supposed to feel isolated and fragmented from one another based on difference, based on class. I mean, that' why, Martin Luther King' Poor People' Movement was so important, something to study and look at."
