COSACOSA art at large, Inc. is a non-profit organization creating new public art specific to the concerns of Philadelphia neighborhoods in direct, long-term collaboration with city residents. COSACOSA reasserts art's original role as a catalyst for community dialogue, creative cooperation, and positive change. Since 1990, COSACOSA projects have brought together thousands of citizens of diverse backgrounds and differing abilities to learn about art, about each other, and about how to work together.
Please join us for COSACOSA's public programs and ongoing initiatives!
Throughout 2019, we're exploring the idea of kinship – how we are connected to others, whether through shared struggle, cultural practice, or family ties.
Working across generational, cultural, and political divides, our Relativity project is developing new ways to foster civil civic exchange and conflict resolution in city neighborhoods.
Community narratives – told and collected from multiple perspectives by city residents in collaboration with COSACOSA artists – form the basis for new public artworks created as part of the project.
Relativity uncovers the critical junctures where we are "kin" – points of convergence and possible reconciliation – to promote positive change in our relationships and for our shared communities.
Please join us in our Manayunk studio and around the city as we showcase public art and ideas about how to make it better!™
