Canon Solutions America Provides Continued Support for TRIPOD Program at Writers Room
July 28 2023 - 2:30PM
Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon
U.S.A., Inc., sponsored the printing of the ninth Anthology from
Writers Room, Drexel University’s university-community literary
arts program. Featured in Anthology are works from TRIPOD, an
intergenerational storytelling program supported by Canon
Solutions America, where students from Drexel, Paul Robeson High
School, and YouthBuild Philadelphia collaborate with older
community residents, using writing and photography to document
their experiences of life in Philadelphia.Drexel, located in
Philadelphia, held a release party for Anthology, which was printed
by Copy General on the Canon varioPRINT iX3200.This marked the
sixth year that Canon equipment was used to print Anthology, with
volumes eight and nine being printed simultaneously this year.
Copy General, in business since the 1970s, operates high-tech
digital printing facilities with the ability to deliver to all 50
states. It was amongst the first companies to eschew printing
presses and adopt a totally digital approach and sources its paper
stock from renewable paper farms located within the United
States.
In addition, Writers Room recently opened the exhibition Seeing
Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Seeing
Philadelphia presents views of the city in prints, drawings,
photographs, paintings, and maps from the Atwater Kent Collection
(AKC) paired with the photography and writing of students and
community members who responded to these scenes. Streetscapes,
bird’s-eye views, and other unique perspectives of photographs
provide different ways for the public to see the city. More details
can be found here.The selection of AKC material is on display
alongside images and writings produced by TRIPOD
writers-in-residence. All exhibition images were made using Canon
cameras, including the EOS 6D, EOS 5D Mark IV, and EOS Rebel
SL2.
“Canon Solutions America is always looking for ways to inspire
students from grade school to higher education while simultaneously
leaving a positive impact on the communities in which we all work
and live,” said Peter P. Kowalczuk, president, Canon Solutions
America. “TRIPOD at Writers Room is an intergenerational
storytelling program that aims to empower students with tools for
storytelling, and in the case of the Seeing Philadelphia
exhibition, offer a special way to celebrate the history and
culture of the city. We are honored to partner with Drexel for this
program and look forward to future exhibitions.”
The TRIPOD program at Writers Room began in 2017 when
representatives from Canon Solutions America and Drexel University
met to discuss opportunities to work together with the West
Philadelphia community, as well as with Drexel students. Born from
that meeting was the idea of combining and enhancing existing
initiatives, such as Canon Solutions America’s Future Authors
Project and Drexel’s Writers Room, as well as engaging with local
high schools.
“Canon Solutions America has supported the TRIPOD program since
its inception in 2017,” said Rachel Wenrick, Founding Director of
Writers Room and Executive Director for Arts & Civic Innovation
in Drexel’s Office of University & Community Partnerships.
“What we’ve created in real partnership has become core to Writers
Room, and to all our work.”
