  • Coby Kennedy<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box<br />
<br />
Kennedy’s sculpture The Box is a protest work. The steel and glass sculpture replicates the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. The exterior features texts and graphs that explore the U.S. carceral system. The work is a critique of the gross abuses of civil liberties found in American incarceration systems. It aims to provide a creatively driven introduction to the myriad impacts of mass incarceration and to inspire participants to envision a transformed world without prisons. <br />
<br />
Viewed from the exterior and lit from below, the sculpture pays specific tribute to Kalief Browder, who was incarcerated for three years with neither trial nor proof.<br />
<br />
Artist Coby Kennedy felt compelled to bring this injustice to light, by creating an eight-by-ten-by-six-feet sculpture that replicates the exact dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. Framed by steel, the glass surfaces are etched with line renderings of the bed, barred window, and toilet that sparsely furnish the inhumane settings. Alongside these diagrams are texts that draw parallels between the United States’ carceral centers and Guantanamo Bay, and also critique the gross abuses of civil liberties when innocent men and women are abducted for untried crimes. <br />
<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box was conceived of and produced by multidisciplinary artist Coby Kennedy to address the ongoing injustices of the US carceral system. It debuted at Pioneer Works in summer 2021, where it was presented with a four-part town hall series organized by For Freedoms and Negative Space to accompany viewing with a forum of discussion around these injustices. Special thanks to Pioneer Works, For Freedoms and Negative Space for its debut.<br />

  • Fairmount Park Conservancy, the non-profit organization that brings parks to life, has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation and PHLY to host a volunteer tree planting event along the Trolley Trail in West Fairmount Park. PHLY volunteers will plant 100 trees, remove invasive vines, mulch, and collect trash and litter at the site as part of the company’s PHLY80K Trees initiative. An additional 50 trees will be donated to the Conservancy and planted at various parks throughout Philadelphia. <br />
PHLY80K Trees is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 80,000 trees each year in forests and communities damaged by natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. The Company has funded the planting of 500,000 trees in 15 states since 2015; many were planted by hundreds of PHLY employees. The mission is to support forests and communities in need by planting trees to help purify our air and restore the environment.<br />
Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />
This tree planting will contribute to the ongoing development of the Trolley Trail, a 4.5-mile soft surface, multi-purpose loop trail that reimagines the former Fairmount Trolley line as a scenic interpretive trail. The Trolley Trail is designed as a multi-use trail open to walkers, runners, equestrians and bikes. The Trolley Trail project is led by Fairmount Park Conservancy in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance. Construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed in spring 2022. <br />

  • Fairmount Park Conservancy, the non-profit organization that brings parks to life, has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation and PHLY to host a volunteer tree planting event along the Trolley Trail in West Fairmount Park. PHLY volunteers will plant 100 trees, remove invasive vines, mulch, and collect trash and litter at the site as part of the company’s PHLY80K Trees initiative. An additional 50 trees will be donated to the Conservancy and planted at various parks throughout Philadelphia. <br />
PHLY80K Trees is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 80,000 trees each year in forests and communities damaged by natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. The Company has funded the planting of 500,000 trees in 15 states since 2015; many were planted by hundreds of PHLY employees. The mission is to support forests and communities in need by planting trees to help purify our air and restore the environment.<br />
Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />
This tree planting will contribute to the ongoing development of the Trolley Trail, a 4.5-mile soft surface, multi-purpose loop trail that reimagines the former Fairmount Trolley line as a scenic interpretive trail. The Trolley Trail is designed as a multi-use trail open to walkers, runners, equestrians and bikes. The Trolley Trail project is led by Fairmount Park Conservancy in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance.

  • The 3.5 mile loop hike will visit places of historical significance, some with connections to the Underground Railroad. Stops include: Ridgeland Mansion (c.1762) Boelsen Cottage (c.1674), Belmont Mansion (c.1742), and physical remnants of the Philadelphia & Columbia Railroad, which was a means of clandestine conveyance for freedom seekers in the mid-19th century. <br />
<br />
The program is led by historic storyteller and "Conductor" Dionne (Dee) Patterson of UGR3DAY Underground Railroad Experiences Inc. Conductor Dee will lead walk participants on an interactive and immersive experience that will evoke the past by activating all of your senses to  engage with the landscape. At lunch, an interpreter portraying William Still will present a reading of his own words sourced directly from primary Underground Railroad records. And Conductor Dee will facilitate a group discussion and reflection on the experience of walking in the footsteps of freedom seekers.<br />
<br />
MORE ABOUT WILLIAM STILL: William Still (1821-1902) is one of the most important yet largely unheralded individuals of the Underground Railroad. Still was chairman of the Vigilance Committee of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society who risked his life shepherding runaway slaves to freedom via a complex network of abolitionists, sympathizers, and safe houses that stretched from Philadelphia north to Canada. Over the course of fourteen years, he helped nearly eight hundred enslaved Africans escape bondage, which is why he’s considered the "Father of the Underground Railroad."<br />
<br />
In 1872, Still published the Underground Railroad, sourced from the secret notes and meticulous records of the many freedom seekers who passed through the Philadelphia "station."  The book is the only first person account of the Underground Railroad written and self-published by an African-American.  It was also the only African-American achievement exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in West Fairmount Park. To this day, the book contains some of

  • Coby Kennedy<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box<br />
<br />
Kennedy’s sculpture The Box is a protest work. The steel and glass sculpture replicates the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. The exterior features texts and graphs that explore the U.S. carceral system. The work is a critique of the gross abuses of civil liberties found in American incarceration systems. It aims to provide a creatively driven introduction to the myriad impacts of mass incarceration and to inspire participants to envision a transformed world without prisons. <br />
<br />
Viewed from the exterior and lit from below, the sculpture pays specific tribute to Kalief Browder, who was incarcerated for three years with neither trial nor proof.<br />
<br />
Artist Coby Kennedy felt compelled to bring this injustice to light, by creating an eight-by-ten-by-six-feet sculpture that replicates the exact dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. Framed by steel, the glass surfaces are etched with line renderings of the bed, barred window, and toilet that sparsely furnish the inhumane settings. Alongside these diagrams are texts that draw parallels between the United States’ carceral centers and Guantanamo Bay, and also critique the gross abuses of civil liberties when innocent men and women are abducted for untried crimes. <br />
<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box was conceived of and produced by multidisciplinary artist Coby Kennedy to address the ongoing injustices of the US carceral system. It debuted at Pioneer Works in summer 2021, where it was presented with a four-part town hall series organized by For Freedoms and Negative Space to accompany viewing with a forum of discussion around these injustices. Special thanks to Pioneer Works, For Freedoms and Negative Space for its debut.<br />

The Trolley Trail project is led by Fairmount Park Conservancy in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance. Construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed in spring 2022. <br />

  • Fairmount Park Conservancy, the non-profit organization that brings parks to life, has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation and PHLY to host a volunteer tree planting event along the Trolley Trail in West Fairmount Park. PHLY volunteers will plant 100 trees, remove invasive vines, mulch, and collect trash and litter at the site as part of the company’s PHLY80K Trees initiative. An additional 50 trees will be donated to the Conservancy and planted at various parks throughout Philadelphia. <br />
PHLY80K Trees is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 80,000 trees each year in forests and communities damaged by natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. The Company has funded the planting of 500,000 trees in 15 states since 2015; many were planted by hundreds of PHLY employees. The mission is to support forests and communities in need by planting trees to help purify our air and restore the environment.<br />
Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />

Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />
This tree planting will contribute to the ongoing development of the Trolley Trail, a 4.5-mile soft surface, multi-purpose loop trail that reimagines the former Fairmount Trolley line as a scenic interpretive trail. The Trolley Trail is designed as a multi-use trail open to walkers, runners, equestrians and bikes. The Trolley Trail project is led by Fairmount Park Conservancy in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance. Construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed in spring 2022. <br />

  • The 3.5 mile loop hike will visit places of historical significance, some with connections to the Underground Railroad. Stops include: Ridgeland Mansion (c.1762) Boelsen Cottage (c.1674), Belmont Mansion (c.1742), and physical remnants of the Philadelphia & Columbia Railroad, which was a means of clandestine conveyance for freedom seekers in the mid-19th century. <br />
<br />
The program is led by historic storyteller and "Conductor" Dionne (Dee) Patterson of UGR3DAY Underground Railroad Experiences Inc. Conductor Dee will lead walk participants on an interactive and immersive experience that will evoke the past by activating all of your senses to  engage with the landscape. At lunch, an interpreter portraying William Still will present a reading of his own words sourced directly from primary Underground Railroad records. And Conductor Dee will facilitate a group discussion and reflection on the experience of walking in the footsteps of freedom seekers.<br />
<br />
MORE ABOUT WILLIAM STILL: William Still (1821-1902) is one of the most important yet largely unheralded individuals of the Underground Railroad. Still was chairman of the Vigilance Committee of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society who risked his life shepherding runaway slaves to freedom via a complex network of abolitionists, sympathizers, and safe houses that stretched from Philadelphia north to Canada. Over the course of fourteen years, he helped nearly eight hundred enslaved Africans escape bondage, which is why he’s considered the "Father of the Underground Railroad."<br />
<br />
In 1872, Still published the Underground Railroad, sourced from the secret notes and meticulous records of the many freedom seekers who passed through the Philadelphia "station."  The book is the only first person account of the Underground Railroad written and self-published by an African-American.  It was also the only African-American achievement exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in West Fairmount Park. To this day, the book contains some of

  • Coby Kennedy<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box<br />
<br />
Kennedy’s sculpture The Box is a protest work. The steel and glass sculpture replicates the dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. The exterior features texts and graphs that explore the U.S. carceral system. The work is a critique of the gross abuses of civil liberties found in American incarceration systems. It aims to provide a creatively driven introduction to the myriad impacts of mass incarceration and to inspire participants to envision a transformed world without prisons. <br />
<br />
Viewed from the exterior and lit from below, the sculpture pays specific tribute to Kalief Browder, who was incarcerated for three years with neither trial nor proof.<br />
<br />
Artist Coby Kennedy felt compelled to bring this injustice to light, by creating an eight-by-ten-by-six-feet sculpture that replicates the exact dimensions of a solitary confinement cell. Framed by steel, the glass surfaces are etched with line renderings of the bed, barred window, and toilet that sparsely furnish the inhumane settings. Alongside these diagrams are texts that draw parallels between the United States’ carceral centers and Guantanamo Bay, and also critique the gross abuses of civil liberties when innocent men and women are abducted for untried crimes. <br />
<br />
Kalief Browder: The Box was conceived of and produced by multidisciplinary artist Coby Kennedy to address the ongoing injustices of the US carceral system. It debuted at Pioneer Works in summer 2021, where it was presented with a four-part town hall series organized by For Freedoms and Negative Space to accompany viewing with a forum of discussion around these injustices. Special thanks to Pioneer Works, For Freedoms and Negative Space for its debut.<br />

  • Fairmount Park Conservancy, the non-profit organization that brings parks to life, has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation and PHLY to host a volunteer tree planting event along the Trolley Trail in West Fairmount Park. PHLY volunteers will plant 100 trees, remove invasive vines, mulch, and collect trash and litter at the site as part of the company’s PHLY80K Trees initiative. An additional 50 trees will be donated to the Conservancy and planted at various parks throughout Philadelphia. <br />
PHLY80K Trees is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 80,000 trees each year in forests and communities damaged by natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. The Company has funded the planting of 500,000 trees in 15 states since 2015; many were planted by hundreds of PHLY employees. The mission is to support forests and communities in need by planting trees to help purify our air and restore the environment.<br />
Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />
This tree planting will contribute to the ongoing development of the Trolley Trail, a 4.5-mile soft surface, multi-purpose loop trail that reimagines the former Fairmount Trolley line as a scenic interpretive trail. The Trolley Trail is designed as a multi-use trail open to walkers, runners, equestrians and bikes.

An additional 50 trees will be donated to the Conservancy and planted at various parks throughout Philadelphia. <br />
PHLY80K Trees is a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 80,000 trees each year in forests and communities damaged by natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. The Company has funded the planting of 500,000 trees in 15 states since 2015; many were planted by hundreds of PHLY employees. The mission is to support forests and communities in need by planting trees to help purify our air and restore the environment.<br />
Trees offer vast benefits for the community at large. Thriving urban forests bolster human health, from encouraging physical activity to reducing respiratory illnesses stemming from air pollution. In the United States, park trees alone remove about 75,000 tons ($500 million) of air pollution each year. And urban trees reduce runoff of sediment, pollutants, and organic matter into streams, improving our water quality. Trees have also been shown to reduce crime, lower stress levels, and develop community pride. <br />
This tree planting will contribute to the ongoing development of the Trolley Trail, a 4.5-mile soft surface, multi-purpose loop trail that reimagines the former Fairmount Trolley line as a scenic interpretive trail. The Trolley Trail is designed as a multi-use trail open to walkers, runners, equestrians and bikes. The Trolley Trail project is led by Fairmount Park Conservancy in partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance. Construction is ongoing and is expected to be completed in spring 2022. <br />
