Live music, a film screening and a shared meal will come together at Bartram\u2019s Garden later this month as part of Journey Arts\u2019 Table Sessions.<\/p>\n
The two-night event, set for April 29 and 30 at 7 p.m., is curated by filmmaker Kristal Sotomayor and centers on \u201cExpanding Sanctuary,\u201d an award-winning short documentary about a Philadelphia mother advocating for immigrant families while planning her wedding.<\/p>\n
Each night starts with a performance by Mariposas Gal\u00e1cticas, a Philadelphia-based group that blends cumbia, klezmer and punk influences. Dinner is served during the set, with a menu from James Beard Award-winning chef Cristina Mart\u00ednez of South Philly Barbacoa and Casa Mexico.<\/p>\n
The film screens at 8 p.m., followed by a post-screening conversation. Each night features a different speaker: the film\u2019s subject appears April 29, while community organizer Miguel Andrade joins April 30.<\/p>\n
Table Sessions is an ongoing series from Journey Arts that brings together performance, food and conversation in a shared setting.<\/p>\n
Tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, with general admission starting around $25 and higher-priced tiers available.<\/p>\n
