What makes a neighborhood?
¿Qué hace un vecindario?
The Neighbors Website is the final product of a project entitled Audience Embedded. Supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, the projectâs goal was two-fold:
1) to allow community members to design a program for audiences like themselves and
2) through the process, to explore the history of the Puerto Rican neighborhoods of Philadelphia and their similarities to other migrant experiences.
Audience Embedded was conceived and implemented by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Taller Puertorriqueño as a way to develop new audiences for their work as well. This section of the website provides background on the process both for those curious and especially for those who work in other cultural and historical organizations who are searching for ideas on how to work more closely with their communities.
