Opening Reception:  May 14, 2026, 6-9 PM

Philly Photo Day: How We Stay Free invited people in Philadelphia to capture images of Philadelphia that respond to the prompt, “How we stay free.” All 331 image submissions will be displayed for free to the public in TILT’s Project Gallery, located in The Crane Arts Building, from May 14 to June 27.

This year’s exhibition shares visions of the city’s communities as they responded to the prompt for this year’s event. Participants were invited to share a photo in response to the prompt, which may have included an act of activism, a social gathering, a loved one or community or an encounter with nature.
