Termite TV’s and PhillyCAM’s Collaborative Film + Exhibition: “Mending”

Explore what it means to heal, repair, and reconnect through Mending, a multimedia exhibition at Cherry Street Pier featuring work by 21 media artists from Termite TV and PhillyCAM.

Opening reception: Friday, September 4, 2026, from 5 pm – 8 pm

Over nine weeks, participating artists created 18 short films exploring mending from different perspectives. Using Termite TV’s signature “collage show” format, described as “video jazz” and “cubist television,” the exhibition brings many voices together around one shared idea.

Beyond film, Mending features photography and mixed-media works created through workshops exploring sewing, photo embroidery, botanical watercolor, oil pastel, painting, and more.

Together, the works explore mending as more than physical repair. Through personal stories of vulnerability, grief, healing, and renewal, the exhibition invites visitors to consider the many ways we put ourselves, and our communities, back together.

Featuring artists include: Gabe Castro, Michael Kuetemeyer, Anula Shetty, Debbie Rudman, Alan Powell, Laura Deutch, Ingrid Raphaël, Julie Woodard, Duwenavue Santé Johnson, Megan Llewellyn, J. Eliza Wall, Kae Luck, Bonnie MacAllister, Jamie Campbell, Brittany Barbato, Nasha Taylor, Dr. Jenine Lowery, Jonathan Olshefski, Michael O’Reilly, Ahmed Hassouna, Alejandra Lopez, Lamont Nathaniel Gibson, Julian Dupree, Nat Thomas, Jere Edmunds, Claire Roberts, Tamara R. Jackson, Emily Fisher, Jenny Tomczak, Edith Zapata, Sam Jacona, Ebony Oldacre, Sam Rucker, Deja Cook, Alisha Kinlaw, Ellie Koo, and Cody Foley.
