Pop Up Postcards May 31st, 1-4pm

Please join us Saturday, May 31st, 1-4 pm for the closing reception of Air Alone (in my
dream). Come see the work of Kim Altomare and Melina Auskaitis.

In conjunction with the closing, Penpals for Palestine! will be hosting a Pop Up Postcard making event. There will be demos of papermaking, paint making, and a collaborative mobile
mural.

Penpals for Palestine! is an experimental mail art exchange highlighting the voices of the
youth of Philly and the youth of Jericho facilitated by Michelle Anne Harris and Kim
Altomare in collaboration with Jericho based artist Yaqeen Yamani. Throughout 2025,
they will facilitate community workshops throughout Philadelphia to create handmade
books and paper correspondence art that will be sent back and forth to Yamani for
response at community events in Jericho.

Facilitating artists include Kim Altomare, Sunny Hsu, Cindy Stockton-Moore Tracy Chahwan and Michelle Anne Harris with directive prompts provided remotely by Yaqeen Yamani and Jericho Cinema Club.

Penpals for Palestine! have an open call for creative members (ages 7-18) for their
Clubhouse Meetings. Located in Olde Kensington, the Clubhouse is a community
experimental art and literacy meeting space for youths ages 7-18 and their families.

Alongside our Jericho cohort, meeting topics include art games, papermaking and poetry
performances, with the opportunity for clubhouse members to have their work exhibited in
a traveling exhibition and submitted for printed publication.
