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. 


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 event begins at the site of the historic City Tavern, A Man Full of Trouble, home to Succession Fermentory, who blend art, history, and locally made ferments. We arrive at Street Road for the opening of the related exhibition Becoming Succession. In the spirit of this project, our drift will include a foraging stop, led by Keith Hartwig, 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.


This drift is co-sponsored by Eco-Social, an event series and learning community convening seasonally in and around Philadelphia, where ecologically-themed artwork is presented and excursions taken.

About the Artist

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.
