Wolfie E. Rawk is currently working in collaboration with the Mural Arts Program, Department of Human Services, West Philly's own Reclaim print shop, artists Laure Biron, Rachel Ehrgood, Felix St. Ford and Flip Esq. and youth at the Achieving Independence Center, Youth Health Empowerment Project and The Attic Youth Center to create a resource guide, PSA video series and a series of street art installations about safe space for youth in Philly. More information at http://youthoutspoken.wordpress.com/ There will be an edition of 5,000 guides printed, find us at Philly pride on Sunday June 13th at Penn's Landing.

Wolfie has received an Art & Social Change Grant from the Leeway Foundation, a foundation that funds women and transgender artists creating art for social change in the Philadelphia area.

Wolfie will be facilitating a series of quilting bees geared towards local women, queer and transgender artists in West Philadelphia. These bees will create community dialogue, foster collaborative art-making and skill-sharing, and document oral histories. The quilts will be organized around themes of Race, Disability, Queerness, Transgender experience, and Class with an emphasis on resisting dominant oppressive social and institutional systems, and on personal and community healing. Details on the exhibition of the work are forthcoming.

The Leslie/Lohman Gallery is showing pieces from the +++ALTERNATORS--- series
in their window installation series. The show will run from October 13th 2009 to January 13th 2010. The gallery is at 26 Wooster St. NY, NY. The pieces can be seen 24/7 from the street.
