Presented in partnership with Circular Philadelphia, this 90-day exhibition at Meantime extends the organization’s commitment to circularity beyond diversion and reuse into the realm of craft: work in which transformation is not incidental to the material’s survival, but the very subject of the piece. The curatorial program favors technical mastery — joinery, casting, weaving, finishing, construction — over conceptual gesture alone, on the premise that skilled execution is itself an argument for why an object deserves a second life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/lightenuplab.com\/collections\/past-lives.oembed","provider":"Lighten Up Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
