No. 5 Butchie Alley invites the city to step into Radical Americana: Monumental Roots, an exhibition where wild gardens, lost architectures, inherited traditions, and centuries of porcelain whisper to one another across time. In the hands of Charlotte Lindley Martin and Terri Saulin, clay becomes a place of memory and reclamation — a tender, maximalist archive of what America was, what it pretends to be, and what still blooms despite our forgetting.
Presented as part of the Semiquincentennial initiative led by The Clay Studio, Radical Americana is one of a consortium of exhibitions celebrating Philadelphia’s enduring legacy as a center for art, craft, and civic imagination.
