This event has already occurred
For five decades social worker turned photographer Harvey Finkle (Penn MSW '61) has documented immigrant communities as well as social and political activism across Philadelphia and beyond. He began photographing the work of the Sanctuary Movement in the early 1980s. In 2003 his exhibition Philadelphia Mosaic: New Immigrants in America was held at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
This pop-up exhibition, made possible by Finkle's 2020 gift of his archive to the Penn Libraries, highlights photographs from both periods and is presented in association with the Wolf Humanities Center’s roundtable, Immigration: A Philadelphia Perspective.
Co-sponsored by the Wolf Humanities Center, in association with the Wolf Humanities Center's February 16, 2022 roundtable, Immigration: A Philadelphia Perspective. This roundtable and the Harvey Finkle exhibition will both be held in the Kislak Center.
