Our Market Project illuminates immigrant spirit of Philly’s Italian Market

By: Molly Given

Walk through the Italian Market with Our Market Project, and you’re not just browsing popular food stands — you’re stepping into generations of immigrant stories etched into every block.

The community-driven arts initiative, led by visual artist Michelle Angela Ortiz, transforms the Market into a living archive, blending oral histories, murals, and immersive tours that highlight the resilience of the families who built and sustained the South Philadelphia landmark.
