Here's what to do in Philadelphia this week

Please join Ars Nova Workshop and the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania for Dreamweapons, a series of performances celebrating the multivalent influences of Tony Conrad. Conrad was a central figure in numerous experimental film, music and performance communities from the early 1960s until his death in 2016. These events are presented in conjunction with ICA’s presentation of "Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective," the first large-scale museum survey devoted entirely to the artist. A frequent collaborator with Tony Conrad in Ma La Pert, Jennifer Walshe’s formidable presence looms large in the contemporary classical world. Her compositions and operas have been performed by ensembles, quartets and symphony orchestras both in her native Ireland and around the world.

All individuals with disabilities and their family members (as well as professionals who are involved with the family) are interested in seeing themselves or their son/daughter/relative be successful in life. In fact, one of the biggest fear individuals and families have is that their loved one might be lonely or at serious risk when they are gone. Although none of us can predict the future, we can look at ways and means to better prepare for the future by understanding the impact of friendships in our lives. Sociologists call this "social capital," and it is amazing what our relationships do for us. This session will help you think about how friendships can be better developed over time, and, in turn, build a more inclusive community.

Celebrate Juneteenth with the Library Company and National Book Award–winning author Ibram X. Kendi. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America – but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other.

Tickets include light bites, a signature drink and a swag bag.
