Adam Levine is an historian and archivist working with the Philadelphia Water Department. He created and manages Philly H2O, a website that holds a wealth of information about the history and use of Philadelphia’s waterways. I sat down with him last summer to learn about what flows into the city, and flows out.
This is the first in a series of podcast interviews that will be unpacked during the run of O.T.W. On the Water: The Schuylkill River, an installation at Independence Seaport Museum at 211 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard, Philadelphia 19106. Organized as a complement to the new River Alive! galleries, the exhibition will be on view through September 2019.
Adam Levine kindly wrote the Introduction in the chapbook of O.T.W. The Schuylkill River, a limited edition of fifty sets of seven archival pigment prints published on October 26, 2018 by Needlewatcher Editions. A downloadable PDF may be found below:
