We are so proud to announce that together with The Philadelphia City Archives + Mural Arts Philadelphia, we’ve won a Pew grant for our Tribute to the historic 7th Ward.
Most Philadelphians today recognize names like Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square, and Washington Square West. Less common knowledge is that together, these neighborhoods once comprised the 7th Ward, a vibrant cultural epicenter for Black Americans until the early 20th century.
Resulting from systemic cultural and political shifts in the 1930s, Black Americans were pushed out of the 7th Ward. Today, Black Americans make up just 7% of the population in these neighborhoods.
Funded by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, the tribute will not only pay homage to the forgotten history of the 7th Ward, but will hark back to its progressive beginnings with an art installations project led by contemporary leaders, historians, and creatives.
Watch this space. Call for artists coming soon!
Tomorrow kicks off an amazing week of peace and protest. Yoga and meditation will be used to facilitate a space for the Black community and the protestors to heal. Artists, speakers, and instructors from all over Philly are coming through and you should too — for one day, or two, or all of them! @ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Tomorrow kicks off an amazing week of peace and protest as we prioritize the healing of the Black community and the protestors. Artists, speakers and instructors from all over Philly are coming through, and you should too — for one day, two or all! @ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
