📸 Thank you Cecelela Tomi and #*valdecruz for the photo!

FRIEDA has a new, BIG, yellow, mellow sloth, named YUMI, relaxing above our entryway.

FRIEDAcommunity Art Project 2026:

SLOTH has a name now!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a name for our SLOTH! …

… We received an overwhelming response, and Pam, it’s creator, had the pleasure of reading every single entry - so many funny, smart, sweet, thoughtful, and sentimental suggestions that it was a difficult task to choose just one. In the end, we chose a name that truly captures the community spirit of our yellow fellow, and honestly, it’s just so cute.

The winning name, submitted by Kim Stenson, …



… inspired by FRIEDA’s spirit of You, Us, We, I …

… is: YUWI 💛 !

Thank you, Kim, and thank you to everyone who took part in this joyful project.

This large-scale collaborative installation is the surprise culmination of a 10-month-long project of FRIEDAcommunity. Composed of hand-strung disposable cutlery by volunteers, who gathered weekly around our community table (and were unaware of the final form), and assembled by artist P.W. Prichett, SLOTH invites delight, laughter, and a bit of the ridiculous and the absurd.

For more than 10 months, Pam ( .w.prichett ) worked away in her South Bronx studio while a dedicated crew of volunteers at FRIEDA in Philadelphia spent their days threading disposable cutlery, one piece at a time.
