DUMPING CAMPAIGN ART, CLEAN PHILADELPHIA NOW

Stemming from organizing that began in 2020, residents/members from the Kensington, Fairhill and Harrowgate neighborhoods identified DUMPING as the most pressing environmental justice issue they face. Residents/members expressed extreme fatigue from the unrelenting cycle of clean-ups that provided only temporary relief from the problem. Located in the least served neighborhoods in Philadelphia dumping disproportionately impacts Black, Brown and marginalized communities. Trash Academy designed interactive art/games to engage and build support to end dumping.
