printPHILLY! 2025 Lecture: The Print Center and the Continuous Contemporary

Join Lauren Rosenblum, Jensen Bryan Curator, at The Free Library’s Parkway Central Library, Heim Center (Room 131/132), for a lecture on the history of The Print Center, presented as part of the printPHILLY! 2025 print fair.
Since our founding in 1915, The Print Center has been a medium-specific venue dedicated to printmaking and photography as fine arts. In many ways, our core programming has persisted. Exhibitions reflect the concerns of their times and the gallery store cultivates a buying public to support working artists. How, then, can these two platforms be understood to have defined over one hundred years of modern and contemporary graphics?
Free and open to the public.

“SA Blues” Special Edition ©Steven CW Taylor 2025
Presented in-person and on Zoom
Join The Print Center and Steven CW Taylor to hear the artist and gallerist discuss his practice, his beautiful wood-bound artist book, his Germantown gallery space and the overarching philosophy of Ubuntu that guides his work.
Taylor moves between photography, printmaking and material exploration. His photographs reflect his lived experience shaped by movement, observation and choice. In 2021, he founded Ubuntu Fine Art, a gallery grounded in the principle of Ubuntu – which means “I am an amalgamation of the people I’ve met along the way.” It operates as both a fine art space and a neighborhood anchor. Ubuntu is the thread that connects every image, conversation, and encounter that happens within it. Ubuntu Fine Art is a physical expression of Taylor’s lived philosophy – one that values presence, curiosity and connection.

Conversation + Book Launch with Tiffany E. Barber + Dejay Duckett
2025-09-19 18:00 - 19:00 | The Print Center, 1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
Presented in-person and on Zoom
Join us to celebrate Tiffany E. Barber’s new publication, Undesirability and Her Sisters: Black Women’s Visual Work and the Ethics of Representation, published by New York University Press. Barber will be in conversation with Dejay Duckett, Vice President of Curatorial Services at the African American Museum in Philadelphia. This event is free and open to the public.
In the wake of contemporary art’s post-Black turn and the mainstreaming of intersectionality, Undesirability and Her Sisters charts a new genealogy of Black women’s art that exposes the unfinished project of racial and gender empowerment in the twenty-first century. Tiffany Barber argues that Black women’s social positions at the intersection of race, gender, sexuality and class are inherently queer, thus spurring unexpected aesthetic strategies that throw into high relief the ethical terrain of what it means to be Black and a woman now.

Registration not required for in-person attendance.

Taste of Exile and MenuFesto
2026-01-10 12:00 - 2026-01-11 19:00 | The Print Center, 1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103, United States
Taste of Exile VR experience
We are pleased to present Taste of Exile and MenuFesto, a pop-up project presented on Saturday, January 10 and Sunday, January 11, 2026. The project explores immigration and exile within the food service industry – which relies heavily on immigrant labor but often does not acknowledge the contribution.
Step into a shared ritual of storytelling, where traditional Mexican and Indigenous cuisine meets virtual reality (VR).
Visitors will participate in an immersive, multi-sensory, 360°, interactive event, lasting approximately 15 minutes. The project animates cooking itself – through gesture, rhythm, repetition and heat – while recalling the lived experience of exile and the layered histories carried by a single dish. During the VR presentation, participants are invited to eat a taco prepared by renowned Mexican and Indigenous chef Cristina Martinez and her team. Taste of Exile uses nourishment as a way to explore immigration as an embodied, lived experience shaped by displacement, resilience and generosity.
Each Taste of Exile session will accommodate ten participants in a fully-guided, immersive dining experience using a VR headset. To participate in one of the free-of-charge, approximately 15-minutes sessions offered from 12 – 7pm each day, registration is required.

Please read all important notes below prior to registering
Presented in a second gallery, MenuFesto brings together interviews with immigrant food truck and restaurant workers – including cooks and servers – from Columbus, OH and Philadelphia, PA. Text excerpts and audio recordings are interwoven with 3D scans of food truck and kitchen environments, tracing participants’ journeys while reflecting on the material, emotional and creative facets of their work. MenuFesto highlights their contributions and encourages visitors to consider the creativity, labor and resilience of the people who feed them.
Important Notes:

Advance registration is required. Up to two guests may be added per reservation.
Registration is for a 30-minute window. If you have not arrived within 5 minutes of your stated time – your seat will be released. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated. Participants are welcome to arrive up to 30 minutes before their scheduled time. Please plan accordingly.
This experience is intended for individuals aged 13 and above. Participants between the ages of 13 and 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Participants will receive one carefully prepared taco as part of the dining ritual. This is not a meal, but rather a symbolic, conceptual and sensory offering.
Two options are available: traditional barbacoa (slow-cooked lamb) or a vegan preparation (root vegetable). Both are served on corn tortillas and may have been processed near nuts, seeds or other allergens.
This experience includes the use of Virtual Reality (Meta Quest 3) headsets and is not recommended for individuals with sensitivity to immersive environments, motion sickness, epilepsy or other VR-related health concerns.
The event will take place on the second floor of The Print Center, which is housed in a late 19th century building and is not ADA-accessible. It is necessary to climb a flight of stairs to reach the second floor. We regret this limitation and appreciate your understanding.

Taste of Exile is created and directed by interdisciplinary art and technology artist Illya Mousavijad and features James Beard Award–winning Mexican and Indigenous chef Cristina Martinez of South Philly Barbacoa in collaboration with scholar Paloma Martinez-Cruz and graphic researcher Jeremy Patterson. MenuFesto is an archival project organized by Martinez-Cruz in collaboration with Mousavijad.

Public Exhibition Tour

Join us for a guided tour led by our Jensen Bryan Curator, Lauren Rosenblum. The free, in-person tour will explore the solo exhibitions awarded from our 100th ANNUAL International Competition: Glen Baldridge: The Pond, Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter: Epilogues of the Black Madonna and Adi Sundoro: Seeking Into The Folds.
Baldridge, Baxter and Sundoro take widely different approaches, but express strong creative perspectives through a compelling exploration of materials. Baldridge’s night-vision photographs of a pond near Portland, ME, reveal psychedelic undercurrents; Baxter’s activist reinterpretations of 19th century daguerreotypes advocate for Black women and girls; and Sundoro’s prints explore the implications of security breaches by the Indonesian government in recycled food wrappers.
