Funeral for a Home commemorates the slow decline and gradual rebirth of Philadelphia’s housing stock and the lives these homes contain. This year in collaboration with local residents, Mount Vernon Manor, Inc., Mantua Civic Association, People’s Emergency Center, artists and historians, Temple Contemporary will share the life and passing of a single home in the Mantua community. Throughout the spring of 2014 we will all contribute to a neighborhood history, one which places private reflection within a deeper historical context.
