Family fun for 3 and up! The Origin of Anansi the Spider is inspired by an African fable from the Ashanti people of Ghana. Anansi had a dream to be the lord of all stories, so he went to the Sky-God Nyame and made his request. Nyame gave him the mission of bringing back a python, a leopard, and a swarm of hornets and promised that if Anansi did this, he would become lord of the stories. Anansi was a great trickster and was able to use his cunning wit to fool the animals into coming back to Nyame with him. Anansi succeeded and was named lord of all stories. This production is another in Curio's Make/Partake series where children will have hands-on experience in participating in the production by making props, creating sound effects and even controlling the weather.

​Philadelphia helped pioneer women's medicine, opening the world's first medical school for women in 1850. Today, maternal and reproductive health is one of the fastest-growing areas in life sciences, and Philadelphia has the research, clinical expertise, and talent to lead the field. This symposium brings those strengths together to turn collaboration into action.
​This half-day symposium at uCity Square convenes researchers, clinicians, advocates, investors, and innovators advancing maternal and reproductive health. Through fireside conversations and expert-led working sessions, participants will explore challenges and opportunities across pregnancy, postpartum care, birth equity, diagnostics, and women's health technologies while building meaningful connections and collaborations.
​Speakers include:
<ul><li>​Maiken Scott, Moderator, WHYY</li><li>​Kevin Baumlin, Moderator, University City Science Center</li><li>​Christine Rohan, Vasowatch</li><li>​Aasta Mehta, City of Philadelphia</li><li>​Ellen Stang, Progeny Health</li><li>​Tracey Welson-Rossman, Journal My Health</li><li>​Karina Sotnik, Upstart Impact</li></ul>
​By the end of the day, participants leave with more than ideas. They leave with named next steps, new collaborators, and a shared plan for making Philadelphia a leader in the field it helped create.
