an immersive and collaborative art exhibition
ABOUT STUFFED
Play & collaboration are the heart & soul of STUFFED
STUFFED invites viewers to investigate the playful, unpredictable nature of artistic creation and the unexpected outcomes that arise from shared vision and interaction. Viewers become active participants in the immersive and collaborative experience through their own creative writing and story telling through STUFFED character cards, based on the sculptural exhibition’s 8 main fabricated characters: Wasabi, Moqueca, Béchamel, Churro, Latke, Uru, Kabob, and Shakshuka. A large, interactive Play Wall has people of all ages engaged in silliness, opening up their creative flow and adding to the joyful vibe. The STUFFED environment becomes a space for creative workshops, storytelling, special food related events, and lively discussion, encouraging all who participate to reconnect with their inherent talents for curiosity and discovery, through play and imagination.

ABOUT THE CREATORS
What began as a project between two creative collaborators, P. W. Prichett, a NYC-based artist, and Thomas Steinborn, co-founder of FRIEDA, Philadelphia, evolved into a full-scale experiential and interactive exhibit, based on the concept of play and its ability to connect us with the deeper parts of our own creative intelligence.
P. W. PRICHETT
Artwork by RISD alum and native New Yorker, Pamela Prichett has been featured in The Provincetown Fine Arts Museum; Museum of the City of New York; and the i.d.e.a. Museum, Mesa, AZ. She has had solo shows of her paintings in New York City and Philadelphia. Her work has also appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Los Angeles Times. Her children’s book, Downward Dog with Diego, was published in 2016 by Blue Apple Books. Prichett’s work, which spans a variety of mediums, reflects a sense of humor, an affinity for nature-based forms, and an approach centered on imagination and play.
THOMAS STEINBORN
Thomas is co-founder of FRIEDAcommunity, a Philadelphia, PA not-for-profit organization that fosters genuine connections between people of all generations and all social, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds through arts, culture, food, and shared experiences. As FRIEDA’s Executive and Creative Director, he has conceived and produced many art exhibitions and collaborative community projects at FRIEDA since its opening in 2015.
