Introduction

With funding from the The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Heritage Philadelphia Program, the Library Company is excited to begin a collaborative project with artist Jennifer Levonian. Over the next few months, Jennifer will be creating a video animation inspired by the library’s collections. She has chosen to explore the topic of women who disguised themselves as men and fought as soldiers in the Civil War. Her video will become part of the library’s upcoming exhibition, John A. McAllister’s Civil War: The Philadelphia Home Front opening in May. This blog will chronicle her process of creating the video and will include postings from Jennifer and library staff working with her. We welcome your comments.

Video & Press

If you're not able to visit the Library Company to see the exhibit, you can watch the finished animation on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/librarycompany/rebelliousbird

 Also, I'd like to share some recent press. This project was mentioned in the New York Times and on the Art Blog.
