The historic home and legacy of prolific African American printmaker Dox Thrash, located in Sharswood, Philadelphia, are threatened. For the past four years, a group of volunteers has been planning a campaign to open an arts and social services hub within the Thrash house. This summer, they launched the Black Futures Campaign with a goal of raising $100k toward their vision. Join Maya Thomas, Dana Rice, and Chris Mulford, as they discuss the Dox Thrash House project and their goals to reuse his home to reestablish art back into the Sharswood community. Glen Foerd is pleased to present this online talk highlighting one of the most exciting grassroots historic preservation projects going on in Philadelphia today.

The talk will be held on Zoom, and is free to the public, but donations are appreciated. To learn more about the campaign and contribute directly, please visit their crowdfunding page. You can also follow their progress via Instagram @dox.thrash!
