On March 25th, Breakthrough Visuals took visual notes at a convening sponsored by the Samuel S. Fels Foundation. Representatives of social change organizations throughout the Philadelphia area gathered at the Asian Arts Alliance to talk about the issues they face now and the ones they expect to face in the future.
The discussions encompassed both the external challenges organizations and their members face, such as securing funding and effective messaging, and the internal ones, like dealing with the mental health challenges that can come from facing difficult situations on a daily basis.
Through it all, the passion and determination people exhibited were truly impressive. Their work isn’t easy, but it’s important, and I was honored to play a small part in the process.
