Join us at the Newark Public Library Main Branch at Centennial Hall with Jersey-City based artist Anne Percoco, who will talk about her new work Beyond the Binary for her upcoming exhibitions featuring her solo work and her practice as part of the Next Epoch Library.
She writes: “Native plants are good. Invasive plants are bad. Right? Beyond the Binary questions that pervasive assumption across eleven accordion-fold booklets, following one plant or idea at a time through ecology, history, and language. This project does not make a blanket case either for or against native or invasive species. It makes a case for nuance, and for looking at the specific contexts of individual plantsAnne Percoco is a sculptor and interdisciplinary artist based in Jersey City, NJ. Her work spans public intervention, installation, and artists’ books and zines, and has been presented at venues across the United States, including the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Anchorage Museum, Queens Museum, and the U.S. Botanical Garden, and internationally across Europe and India.

She will be debuting her new zine series for Next Epoch See Library at Deja Vu at Eonta Space, 34 Dekalb Ave — open the weekends of Aug 28–30 and Sep 11–13 Beyond the Binary for Next Epoch Seed Library examining the native/invasive plant binary. She will also be showing her work Indra’s Cloud at the Creation from Destruction exhibition at Art House at 345 Marin Blvd on view from Sept. 11- Oct. 25. Image:

From 12 Meals to 2 Million: Franciscan Charities Launches First 5K Run &amp; Walk
September 12th event at South Mountain Recreation Complex – Franciscan Charities invites the community to run, walk, volunteer and support Newark neighbors in need
Franciscan Charities, a Newark nonprofit that has grown from serving 12 meals on its first day to providing 2 million hot meals for more than two decades, will host its first 5K Run &amp; Walk on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the South Mountain Recreation Complex in West Orange.
The event will bring runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters together from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Participants can register online at <a href="https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run</a> or on event day at the Clipper Pavilion beginning at 8:00 a.m.
Franciscan Charities began more than 20 years ago as a small soup kitchen in the basement of St. Ann's Church in Newark. Since then, the organization has served 2 million hot meals, including approximately 140,000 meals last year.
Beyond meals, Franciscan Charities provides diapers and formula to families, school supplies and uniforms to children, winter coats, and holiday gifts. The organization's work during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized nationally by the Obama Foundation, which featured Franciscan Charities as a "Story of Hope" and described the organization as "small but mighty." The City of Newark has also recognized Franciscan Charities as a "beacon of hope and inspiration."
“Food insecurity remains a serious challenge for many Newark residents, particularly families and individuals struggling with the rising costs of food, housing, and other basic necessities. Please come out and join us on the 12th - your support will make a real difference. We can do this together!” Brother Paul Miller, Founder and CEO
