Civic Power Studio

The Civic Power Media Studio is a gathering space and multimedia lab entirely dedicated to creating power in, by, and for Philadelphia's Fairhill-Hartfranft community members. In response to a democracy where power resides among a privileged few, Village Arts and their neighbors built a space to generate their own people power.

Located in a newly renovated and community co-designed building within The Village Arts campus, neighbors can use state-of-the art media equipment to study how power operates; to amplify existing neighborhood power; and to build new systems of power that are rooted in care rather than control.
