Whitman at 200: Art and Democracy is being planned as an exploration of the relevance of the poet’s life and words for a contemporary audience through a region-wide program of cultural events. One vital component of Whitman’s writings\, his poetics of nature\, views man on a continuum with the natural world: both of it and able to appreciate it for itself and for its spiritual dimension. For Whitman\, the “Nature-element” is essential to our Democracy and “really underlie[s] the whole politics\, sanity\, religion and art of the New World.” \n  \nPartners & Performers \nHomer Jackson is an interdisciplinary artist from Philadelphia whose work is presented as installation\, performance art\, public art\, video and audio. Mr. Jackson has received support for his work from the Rockefeller Foundation\, Pew Fellowships in the Arts\, Civitella Rainieri Foundation\, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, National Endowment for the Arts\, The Playwrights Center and Franklin Furnace Fund For Performance Art. Homer Jackson serves as the director of the Philadelphia Jazz Project. \n  \n  \nJarboe (she/he) is a cabaret artist\, director\, writer\, historian\, and host serving you revolution\, herstory\, queer community making\, and a whole lot of glitter.  Going back to the interdisciplinary roots of cabaret\, Jarboe is transforming opera\, and live performance from her home in Philadelphia\, making work that is insistent on its liveness and interactivity\, work that will make you sing\, dance\, clap and question.  Jarboe has created work with and for Opera Philadelphia\, The Philadelphia Museum of Art\, The Barnes Foundation\, The Wilma Theater\, The Kimmel Center\, FringeArts among others. \n  \nAndrew Nurkin is the Deputy Director for Enrichment and Civic Engagement at the Free Library of Philadelphia\, where he directs humanities and civic programs across the library’s fifty-four locations.
