Written on:

May 6, 2024

A First Monday Lecture with Todd Drake.

7:30pm – 9pm Eastern Time (US & Canada) on campus and via Zoom.

Free and open to the public!

Join Friend Todd Drake as he shares his lifelong journey and witness as a visual artist and social justice activist. Drake’s practice of witnessing and facing life’s great sadnesses with creative practice offers us all another North Star on our own journeys. He will speak to how he has been shaped by this practice, from making art with children in the West Bank to posting graffiti on the streets of New York City. Todd will also share about his exhibit, “Leading in Linocut – The Graffiti Prints of a Quaker Pirate,” currently on display at Pendle Hill.

This and our other First Monday Lectures are streamed live and available as recordings on our YouTube channel, Pendle Hill USA.

This series titled, “In Light Together, Apart” shares artwork of the attenders from the recent YAF retreat. The idea behind the retreat was to collaboratively create something that speaks to where young adult friends are at this time. The themes that emerged were: time, place, people, loss, change, searching, and reflection. This week, we hear “Angel from Montgomery” from Mary Tierney, and we see art by Liz Anderson of Downers Grove Monthly Meeting, Illinois Yearly Meeting, and Kaise Coyle of Norristown Meeting.
