It’s another can’t-miss weekend in Philadelphia full of great events, including the end of winter — sort of.
The winter attractions next to City Hall — collectively known as Winter at Dilworth Park — wrap up for the season on Sunday. Don’t miss one last chance to embrace the season at the ice rink, cabin and Wintergarden.
Speaking of wintry things, the Coors Light NHL Stadium Series welcomes the “Battle for Pennsylvania” on Saturday for a very special game outdoors at Lincoln Financial Field as the Philadelphia Flyers try to defeat the intrastate rival Pittsburgh Penguins.
On the arts scene, Broadway Philadelphia puts a modern twist on Cinderella at the Academy of Music, local acts celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Things Fall Apart album by The Roots at World Cafe Live, the Barnes Foundation opens an exhibit of early photography and The African American Museum in Philadelphia closes its exhibition about cotton and slavery.
Select concerts this weekend — including James Blake, Flogging Molly and Scott Bradlee’s Modern Jukebox — are part of the Visit Philly Live Nation Hotel Package, a stellar hotel package that includes up to $230 in show-enhancing perks, including free hotel and concert parking, complimentary food and drinks during the show and other bonuses.

Field Trips in Amsterdam
The first week in Amsterdam was filled with field trips around the city. We made our first stop on June 25 to a Food Forest on the other side of town. I found the very concept of a Food Forest intriguing. P Patches and other urban gardens are quite common around many major American cities. Many years ago, during my days with the Boys and Girls Club back in Denver, we did numerous summer activities at one of the local organic gardens in town. It was quite valuable for the kids, all of whom lived in the heart of one of Denver’s Food Deserts. The only grocery store in the neighborhood was the Dollar Tree, which had no fresh produce or really any other truly nutritious foods, so these urban gardens were somewhat of a lifeline for these kids. This Food Forest, though, was an entirely different animal. Built into an old schoolhouse, the Forest makes use of plants that grow naturally in the Netherlands, instead of intentionally planted like at garden. It’s naturally, and strictly maintained. A greenhouse takes care of plants that need more heat or sunlight. All of the pathways at the Forest are natural as well, adding to the natural feel of the entire idea. Everyone who comes to the Food Forest puts in some work as well, which reminded me of Israel’s kibbutzim, or commune farms. Everyone partakes in the labor there, and all wealth generated at a kibbutz is shared. After we all spent time learning and working, we got to share some of the mint tea and lemon couscous made with ingredients freshly picked by classmates, a nice cap to an extremely hot and sticky day by Dutch standards. It was, in a sense, like organized foraging. This particular concept could work in some American cities to alleviate stresses caused in food deserts, but does require some natural foliage to exist. Cities like Seattle, Portland, or Minneapolis might be able to make use of mild summers, while cities like Atlanta or Charlotte could make use of a lengthy growing season and abundant flowering plants. Cities like Phoenix, Denver, or Salt Lake City might struggle without a natural tree canopy, but could still perhaps find other ways to grow food-producing plants that naturally thrive in a more arid environment. While they are not producing for commercial purposes, a concept such as this could do wonders where fresh food is otherwise scarce.
On June 26, we visited the Tropenmuseum, or the Museum of the Tropics. In the museum’s great hall a curator explained that museum was once a celebration of Dutch colonial riches from Indonesia and Suriname, formerly the Dutch East Indies and Dutch Guyana respectively, but now the museum makes great effort to acknowledge the true colonial legacy of brutality and slavery. The bottom floor of the museum is a temporary exhibition dedicated to the diversity of all peoples entitled “What Makes Us Special”. The exhibit does a great job of displaying differing religions, music, styles of clothing, and the ripple effects of cultural appropriation. The second floor is the beating heart of the museum: permanent exhibitions on Indonesia and Suriname. The exhibit is, compared to other exhibits in the United States, unflinching and uncompromising. Slavery and exploitation are openly discussed, and the people affected are deeply humanized. For example: they are referred to as “slaves”, but as “enslaved people”, as their condition of servitude does not define them or strip them of their humanity, but instead was forced upon them by others. The writers and curators do not shy away from clearly stating how an item was received and go to great lengths to acknowledge the people these items came from. I knew very little about the country of Suriname before going to this museum, so that whole section was also quite educational for me. The Surinamese people went through great struggle to gain and maintain both their freedom from slavery and their independence, and the exhibit does a wonderful job of showing their struggle. The Indonesian exhibit is equally as impressive and respectful towards the Indonesian people. Their treasures are tactfully displayed with honesty and acknowledgment. The differences in the Asian and American colonial legacies are also highlighted. This exhibit alone makes the museum worth the entry fee. I cannot picture a similar museum in the United States, or any other colonial power, being so frank and honest about its own role. It was really quite refreshing. Upstairs from the Surinamese and Indonesian exhibits were two more temporary exhibitions: a highlight of the hajj (the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca as required by their religion) and of modern Japan. I found the exhibit on the hajj very powerful and inspiring. While I’m not Muslim myself, the relationship of pilgrimage, of place, and of spirituality crosses numerous religious boundaries. For me, I felt the same about my trip to the Western Wall in Jerusalem back in high school. For others, it might be the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or Varanasi. The exhibit truly humanizes those who much of the Western World has decided to dehumanize and set aside as an enemy. I learned more about the hajj than I ever knew before, and am definitely inspired to learn more about this tradition. The exhibit on Modern Japan was fun, but more of an emotional fulfillment than truly educational. I got to geek out on some of my favorite franchises and movies: Sonic the Hedgehog, Akira, Street Fighter, and many others. Overall, the museum was a really neat experience: honest, frank, self-aware. It’s an experience I hope to have in the United States one day.
Our next stop after the Tropenmuseum was the OBA, or the Amsterdam Central Library. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean, well-used, and integrated into the city the library is. When we got inside, we were shown some of the details of the place and how the Dutch have made their library so warm and inviting for everyone. The children’s section is set apart from the rest of the library on a sunken floor, allowing extra space for young ones to make a little bit of noise and ruckus. The kids even have age-appropriate interior decorations, including a large doll house filled with knitted mice, and their own maker space where an art teacher might help them release a little creative energy. Upstairs is even better for the adults: a café on the second floor and a cafeteria with a view on the seventh floor humanizes the patrons somewhat and encourages users to stick around in the library a little while longer, the shelves are easy to navigate and well organized with good signage, books and media are separated onto different floors to avoid confusion, and they have a dedicated spaces for job training for anyone who needs it, Dutch language immersion for ex-pats and refugees, a wide array of periodicals, comfortable seating to both lounge and study, and of course, fast and reliable free WiFi delivered on a one-month free pass for guests. For locals, the WiFi is included with their membership fees. Unlike libraries in the United States the OBA does charge a yearly membership fee for their services. At first, as a class we were somewhat taken aback. But seeing the OBA in action it started to make sense. Because each patron has a financial stake, they seem to take better care of the space they occupy. The membership fees also allow them a much larger budget than most American libraries, and they can truly cater to those who pay. The fees are not cheap at 40 Euro per year, but are still low enough to be affordable for most Amsterdammers. The membership fee also allows them the flexibility not to charge late fees, which is essentially unheard of in the United States. In the States, it’s assumed that you won’t bring your materials back on time without the threat of some kind of financial penalty. But at the OBA, the patrons are already buying in, literally, so they feel a stronger responsibility to return their materials on time and in good working order. They don’t seem to have too much trouble with people keeping materials. Overall, the effects of true user buy-in are easy to spot in such a place. The very idea of listening to people who use the library and innovating it in such a way in the States seems far-fetched, but here in Amsterdam they’re miles ahead.
The next day, on June 27, we visited the Van Gogh Museum. While I found the exhibition halls themselves somewhat crowded and a little bit underwhelming, their adaptations to accommodate blind and disabled visitors are truly revolutionary. The museum curators do a great job of highlighting the textural elements of Vincent Van Gogh’s work to build tactile three-dimensional models that provide a multi-sensory experience. A scale model of Van Gogh’s “Bedroom” even comes complete with all of Van Gogh’s favorite accessories like tobacco and absinthe. The model is identical to his painting, right down to the decorations on the “wall” and the placement of Van Gogh’s clothing. Blind folks and people with other forms of sensory problems can often find a museum a deeply unwelcome space. Traditional art museums, in particular, are often the least accessible: everything is completely consumed visually. Touching the works is usually not only frowned upon but in many cases outright prohibited. Viewers are expected to be quiet and move through galleries with extreme care. Interactive exhibits are almost completely non-existent. Access to the space itself is often limited to abled people, or least people who walk without the assistance of a White Cane or a wheelchair. But this is completely the opposite: they’re bringing an immersive art museum to people who otherwise wouldn’t find the space accessible. Even as a sighted person (with my contacts in of course), I found the entire experience illuminating. If I were indeed blind, I would be ecstatic that there were an art museum I could attend and feel welcome, feel that I could actually interact with the paintings as everyone else can. They also had a completed tactile experience of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” that allowed the user to smell the eponymous flowers Van Gogh so eloquently paints. I do wonder how this might work in North America, as our painters generally use different techniques than Van Gogh, but immersion still might be possible: audio clips and narrations of Roy Liechtenstein’s pop art works for example, or tactile scale models of “American Gothic”. All told, while I found the rest of the museum itself less impressive than the Tropenmuseum, the tactile experience of Van Gogh’s paintings might have been my favorite field trip element so far.
Our final stop for the week was a walking tour of the Amsterdam Street Art Museum. This museum makes very inventive use of existing structures and spaces to enhance the displayed artwork. Much to our chagrin as librarians, archivists, and preservationists, we were all stunned that each piece of artwork was going to disappear within five years of its installation. The artists commissioned for this museum put together some truly unique and beautiful work, and they have to do it quite quickly and efficiently. Their studio is literally the street. The museum coordinators do a great job of integrating their vision directly into the community much of the art serves, as well as digitizing the collection for posterity. I was definitely struck by the fleeting, mobile, and almost overlooked style of this museum. If we were not on a tour of each work, I would have merely assumed it was just a popular place for some amazingly detailed graffiti and a few large murals on brick. The art itself is very well-integrated into the neighborhood: it looks like it belongs there. Commissioned artists do a really great job of utilizing existing surfaces and locations as part of their art installation: towering brick walls, small concrete cornerstones, unused doorways, utility boxes, even a bike storage bin. This is easily a concept that could do well in the United States where street art is quite common and local communities are often looking to find ways to prevent people from tagging blank spaces and turning them into eyesores. I also found the idea of a tour itself to be rather immersive: in order to see the art you had to physically interact with the neighborhood as an organism, you had to walk through the well-worn paths and interact with the people who lived there. It wasn’t just modern spray paint art in a giant hall, it was literally art on the street. The museum was not perfect: perhaps a guide map or some signs pointing you in the right direction if you wanted to take a self-guided tour, but overall it was a really cool experience. The artwork was fantastic. Also I think our friendly host may have admitted to knowing who Banksy is, or at least he insinuated it when he dropped the name in reference to one of the more prominent artists along our walk. But that’s a story for another time...
Our first week was a whirlwind of field trips, museums, art, food, and culture. This is a vibrant city with a lot to offer, and the heritage sector in the States could learn more than a thing or two from the way the Dutch have innovated. Food Forests could feed communities without access to grocery stores or fresh produce. The public library can do its part to generate more buy-in from users and create a more welcoming and inviting experience for everyone. History museums can finally start reckoning with and addressing the darker side of colonialism and capitalism. Art museums can adapt their space and their works to become a part of a neighborhood and accessible to all. Truly revolutionary and innovative.
Next week: eh, who knows, probably more field trips maybe? Maybe some of the smaller differences between the Netherlands and the States? Or day-to-day life in the Netherlands? Maybe a museum tour of the ones I visited on my own? Like I said, who knows, next week’s topic TBA

If you are gay and have been to Atlanta, you have more than likely made a trip to Swinging Richards, one of the most famous Male Strip clubs in the world.
Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired North American rights to award-winning filmmaker Gerald McCullouch’s first documentary All Male, All Nude, which had its DVD and digital release on December 5. The DVD will contain additional filmmaking by McCullouch utilizing the skin heavy outtakes as well as a dedication to one of the dancers who went missing shortly after filming wrapped.
Described by Michael Musto as a “fabulous”, “sexy”, and “illuminating” (OUT) film that will
“change your mind about male strippers forever” (BearWorld Magazine), Gerald dives into
the lives of men who work at America’s only all male, all nude, gay strip club located in the
heart of the Bible Belt.
“Gerald has pulled back the curtain on Atlanta’s notorious and legendary gay strip club, Swinging Richards” said Richard Ross, Co-President of Breaking Glass. “He examines the mind and soul of the men who bare their bodies nightly for our enjoyment. If you ever wondered, who are these men, and why would they do this, you’ll walk away with an appreciation, and greater insight, of the whole club culture and camaraderie.”
All Male, All Nude, the documentary is 64 minutes in length, NR, and is only $19.99.
If you like to read, you have undoubtedly have read Armistead Maupin’s “Tales of the City” series of books. And if you don’t like to read maybe you saw the movie. Either way, you know what an incredible story teller Armistead is. I am a big fan! Therefore, you can only imagine how excited I was when I heard about Jennifer M. Kroot’s Documentary The Untold Tales Of Armistead Maupin.
The Untold Tales Of Armistead Maupin is the winner of the SPECTRUM Audience Award from the Nashville Film Festival, Best Documentary from FilmOut San Diego and Best Documentary Jury award from OutShine Miami Film Festival.
The Untold Tales Of Armistead Maupin examines the life and work of one of the world’s most beloved story tellers, following his evolution from a conservative son of the Old South into a gay rights pioneer whose novels have inspired millions to claim their own truth.
Jennifer M. Kroot’s documentary about the creator of Tales of the City moves nimbly between playful and poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. With help from his friend, Maupin offers a disarmingly frank look at the journey that took him from the jungles of Vietnam to the bathhouses of 70s San Francisco to the front line of the American culture war. Featuring Laura Linney, Ian McKellen, Olympia Dukakis, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Cho, Jonathan Groff and Amy Tan.
The Untold Tales Of Armistead Maupin is now available on DVD and will have its broadcast premiere January 1, 2018 on PBS Independent Lens. The documentary can be ordered on Amazon.com and WolfeVideo.com for only $24.99
