A(mobile)DRIFT is a participatory art project organized by Street Road Artists Space in Cochranville, PA, inspired by the Fluxus movement and the City Centre walking score from Ways to Wander by Clare Qualmann & Claire Hind. Originally developed for the 2019 Common Field Conference in Philadelphia, its third iteration will take place September 20, 2025.
Participants will travel from Center City Philadelphia to Street Road, observing, sketching, and photographing while reflecting on the changing urban-rural landscape, guided by questions about perception, movement, and place.
The 2025 event begins at the site of the historic City Tavern, A Man Full of Trouble (127 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA) and home to Succession Fermentory, blending art, history, and locally made ferments.
We will arrive at Street Road for the opening reception for the Succession Fermentory exhibition Becoming Succession. In the spirit of this project, which will run for 9 months and incorporate monthly workshops and talks, our bus trip will include one or two foraging stops to gather contributions to the exhibition.
A(mobile)DRIFT explores and challenges traditional distinctions like urban vs. rural, emphasizing how these binary views obscure more complex, intertwined realities. It invites participants to engage thoughtfully with place, change, and the natural and built environments.

Street Road Artists Space is an experimental, interdisciplinary arts venue located in a repurposed roadside office in rural Cochranville, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2011 by artist and writer Emily Artinian, Street Road engages with its unique semi-rural, semi-suburban context to explore questions of place, mobility, social justice, and alternative models of exhibition-making. The space supports long-term collaborations, socially engaged practices, and site-specific work, frequently involving local communities as active participants.
With a name referencing both its geographic location on Street Road and its conceptual focus on intersections—of disciplines, cultures, and environments—the project invites artists, researchers, and thinkers to explore the tensions and affinities between urban and rural settings. Projects at Street Road span installations, participatory artworks, land-based interventions, screenings, and workshops. A central concern of the space is to create conversations that link its rural base with global issues and audiences.
Street Road’s programming often centers on multi-year initiatives such as Near Dwellers, an ongoing series exploring relationships between human and other-than-human animals, The Estate of Trixie the Cat, a speculative project about land ownership, and I Love America and America Loves Me, an international collaborative drawing on the legacy of Joseph Beuys.
In 2026, Street Road will expand to include a London-based outpost, further extending its mission to connect diverse places and publics through contemporary art.
