<em>¡Aquí! </em>showcases Taller Puertorriqueño’s children and youth arts programs. Through the artwork that has been produced by the children in the program in response to issues of their day, the exhibition speaks of the challenges that many Puerto Ricans and Latinos faced in moving to Philadelphia. By using art and cultural production, children find meaning and purpose. <em>¡Aquí! </em>also includes artwork that connects them to their cultural heritage and sense of place. It is through this work that they proclaim, “We are here!”

<strong><em>¡Aqui!</em> will be featured in the</strong> Community History Gallery at the Philadelphia History Museum from November 14, 2015 through April 1, 2016.

The Community History Gallery offers Philadelphia-based neighborhood groups and other non-profit community organizations whose work shapes the fabric of city life an opportunity to tell their story in the City’s official history museum.

The Philadelphia History Museum is conveniently located near the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. It also can easily be accessed by public transportation including the number 47 bus, PATCO, and the Market- Frankford El.

The Philadelphia History Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 am-4:30 pm. <strong>Admission fees apply, for details visit the museum’s website at <a href="http://www.philadelphiahistory.org" target="_blank">www.philadelphiahistory.org</a> </strong>
