Street Road Reading Group

In addition to our Little Free Library Book Club, Street Road hosts occasional Reading Groups in connection with our exhibitions and projects. 
​2021 — bi-monthly Zoom and ongoing Slack group
In connection with our Clouded Title project, join our Zoom sessions and / or our Slack, for an ongoing discussion of the interrelationships between ownership, land ownership, decoloniality, aesthetics, and more. We'll be reading related material together and sharing recommendations and resources. This is also a space for our community to share their own current work - whether in the arts or in other fields - in relation to the discussion.

The book examines the process of suburban development and its implications, focusing specifically on the creation of New Daleville, a community located close to Street Road and within the bounds of Londonderry Township, the focus of 7000 Acres, our May-July exhibition on our township's history, with materials crowd-sourced from local residents.

Fall 2015 / Winter 2016 Reading Group

Over the course of four evenings in the Fall and Winter of 2015/2016, we will convene to discuss Claire Bishop’s influential publication Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship. Originating in a controversial column for Artforum, Bishop’s text interrogates the social impact of art involving explicit audience participation, offering an unorthodox and thought-provoking analysis of its influence. 

November 5th | 5:30-7pm - Introduction, Chapters 1-2
December 3rd | 5:30-7pm - Chapter 3&4
February 18th | 5:30-7pm - Chapter 5-9

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
