A wet look at Philly’s future.

Imagine a near future when rivers and oceans begin to rise, when urbanites must embrace water as part of life. Conceptualized and built by Brooklyn-based installation artist Mary Mattingly, WetLand is an otherworldly houseboat moored on the Delaware River that’s part interactive public art installation, part urban farm and dwelling place. Mattingly will live on WetLand for six weeks, hosting tours, performances, workshops, skill shares, and artistic gatherings. Visit the artist in her sustainable floating rowhome to see how art, architecture, and environmental technology come together to create a watery urban utopia.

Ongoing daily (WetLand will be closed Wednesdays Sep 10 & Sep 17 for maintenance and cleaning)
