Date & Time: Thursday July 24th - Sunday July 27th
Supported by the North Philadelphia History Festival, Scribe Video Center partners with the Friends of the Tanner House for a unique temporary exhibition on the exterior facade of 2908 W. Diamond St, installing historical images of the Tanner family as redesign and rehabilitation efforts of the home continue into 2026. The exhibition is named for Tanner’s Crossing the Atlantic (Return Home) (1894).
Friends of the Tanner House is committed to the preservation and growth of the rich Black cultural wealth of North Philadelphia — a neighborhood of which the Tanner family was part, and a community which continues to dream, evolve, and invent opportunities to thrive.
