Come together with neighbors\, cultural stewards\, and design thinkers for a panel discussion to explore how historic district recognition can reflect who we are\, protect what we’ve built\, and shape a future that honors our roots. \nThe historic Dox Thrash House at 2340 Cecil B. Moore Avenue is more than just a building—it’s a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s Black Renaissance and a symbol of our community’s rich artistic legacy. As the former home and studio of pioneering printmaker Dox Thrash\, who co-invented the carborundum mezzotint technique while working with the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project\, this Victorian house built in 1895 represents a crucial piece of our neighborhood’s cultural identity. \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nABOUT THE CULTURAL WORKERS: \nThe Dox Thrash House Project is a Black-led historic preservation initiative focused on restoring the former home of pioneering artist Dox Thrash and nominating the surrounding Sharswood neighborhood as a historic district. Backed by community leadership\, the project trains residents in survey\, documentation\, and preservation practices to reclaim and protect their cultural heritage. It advances design justice and equity in the built environment through grassroots engagement and education. \nBSNC: Brewerytown-Sharswood Neighborhood Coalition is a resident-led community group of Brewerytown + Sharswood in North Philly. They organize and mobilize holistically to meet the needs and interests of neighbors\, families\, and each other. They also build allyship with fellow North Philly neighbors! \nCommunity Design Collaborative: Preserving Black Presence (PBP) is an initiative of the Community Design Collaborative\, a nonprofit that partners with communities to shape equitable\, thriving environments. PBP supports Black-led historic sites by providing technical assistance\, preservation planning\, and capacity-building resources. The initiative aims to address systemic inequities in preservation and ensure long-term sustainability for culturally significant spaces. \n___________________________________________________________________________________________ \nABOUT THE FESTIVAL: \nThe North Philadelphia History Festival (NPHF) is a cultural celebration of the African American and Puerto Rican communities in North Philadelphia.
