Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments

A spring exhibition spotlighting the Rocky statue and exploring its wider context through artwork from the past 2,000 years. The collection demonstrates how monuments are made and remade by artists, communities, and time, opening conversations on deeper themes of memory, identity, power, and representation in public art. The exhibition highlights often-overlooked stories behind public statues, including Philadelphia's boxing legends, immigrant neighborhoods, and ongoing debates over the future of shared spaces.
