Youth researchers organize a walking party from 40th and Walnut to 40th and Wallace Streets to enable relationships across neighborhoods and institutions
Mixplace Studio is an educational program focused on gathering and sharing knowledge in West Philadelphia. Our goal is to produce tools that enable relationships across neighborhoods and institutions.
The walking party is a moving conversation, narrated by youth researchers, along the linear mile, which extends from 40th and Walnut Street to 40th and Wallace Street (learn more about linear mile). At each block, youth researchers perform the history of the block, from past to present, with emphasis on shifts in race and ethnicity, socio-economics, and land use.
In 2013, the walking party will take place on Friday, August 16th, from 6 to 8pm. Alternatively, contact us to schedule your own personal walk with a member of Mixplace Studio.
