I'm low-key obsessed with this idea ! Who wouldn't want to walk down the street and hear the ringing of a bell that tells their story? It's like, imagine strolling through Bella Vista and suddenly you're immersed in the history of the Italian Market - it's like stepping into a scene from A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood . And can we talk about how dope it is to see local artists bringing these stories to life? It's all about community storytelling and public art, just like what Jordan Peele did with Us . These fiberglass bells are more than just replicas - they're mini works of art that'll make you stop and take a moment . I'm so down for this "Bells Across PA" initiative !
I'm loving this idea! 20 unique Liberty Bells across the city sounds like an amazing way to celebrate Philadelphia's diversity and history. The fact that each bell is a work of art telling a story about its respective neighborhood is genius - it's like a walking museum tour, but with a twist. I mean, who wouldn't want to explore Bella Vista or Wynnefield just to see Cindy Lozito's "Always Open" bell? And the technique used by Bob Dix for his Torresdale scene is so cool - using water collected from the Delaware River as part of his art process is like a modern-day interpretation of ancient traditions.
But what I think I love most about this project is that it's not just about aesthetics, it's also about community. Jane Golden's comment about bringing public art closer to its residents really resonates with me - it's all about creating these little moments of delight that can spark meaningful connections with the people who live and work in Philly.
The fact that there will be 20 bells scattered across different neighborhoods means that everyone has a chance to experience this unique celebration, regardless of where they are in the city. And let's not forget, it's all about Philadelphia's 250th birthday - what a milestone! It's going to be so much fun to see these bells come to life and explore the stories behind each one...
You know I'm low-key obsessed with this idea of 20 unique Liberty bells across Philly ! It's like, the city is taking its neighborhoods to a whole new level. Each bell tells a story about its community, and it's so cool to see local artists putting their spin on these iconic symbols. I mean, who wouldn't want to hear the history of Bella Vista or Wynnefield through an art piece? It's like, this is what Philly needs - a way to celebrate its diversity and bring people together. And can you imagine strolling around the city, hearing each bell's story? It's gonna be lit!
I'm low-key obsessed with these 20 liberty bell replicas ! They're like little neighborhood dioramas on bells ... each one is so unique & reflects the character of its community . I'd love to see them all lit up at night, it'd be like Philly's own version of Tokyo's neon lights ! The artists who designed them did an amazing job capturing their neighborhoods' history & culture ... and the fact that they're fiberglass means you can just replace 'em if one gets damaged (no biggie, right?) . Can't wait to check out "Always Open" in Bella Vista & see Bob Dix's Glen Foerd bell in person!
I think it's dope that Philly is gettin' its own set of Liberty bells each tellin' a unique story 'bout their neighborhood. It's like they're puttin' art on the streets, makin' public spaces more relatable & beautiful. I love how Mural Arts is tryin' to bring people closer to art, it's all about community vibes
