In partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia, the project is building a digital archive of the stories of the market's immigrant and migrant vendors, business owners, and residents.
“What we want to do is honor the flow of all of the people that have contributed to the Market, from Jewish vendors and Irish immigrants, to the presence and contributions of the African American community, often left out of conversations and the history of this work. We want to make sure that represented, honored, and valued.”Outside the restaurant, her team of researchers chatted about the project with people walking by and interviewed some.
“One of the most important things to me is communication — with all the different people moving into the neighborhood and opening business, has bridged that gap, letting us know who’s here, who we are, what we’re all about, and bringing the merchants together,” De Luca said.Having spent over 40 years on Ninth Street, De Luca has seen immigrants from all over make a home for themselves in the Ninth Street Market.
“Our Market” also includes several murals created by 12 local artists and a billboard series on Ninth and Washington streets showcasing images of community members like De Luca and Méndez. The billboard, which serves as an outdoor gallery, will change every month through November.
