With the help of the Londonderry Township Historical Committee, Street Road organized this exhibition about the history of our roughly 7000-acre township in Southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. A participatory work, the project centers on the collection of memorabilia and artifacts.

All township residents were invited to contribute items. Their personal stories and items were displayed alongside a broader history taking in sites such as the Daleville Store, St. Malachi’s Catholic Church, and Derry Meeting, as well as European settlement, pre-colonialism First Nations (in particular the Leni Lenape), and earlier, pre-human settlement. The project is conscious of its own title as an arbitrary and problematic but nonetheless evocative organizing principal.


Items were displayed in a traditional installation, where visitors can view them in a physical setting; but are also reiterated online, at @7000acres, where the collection will have a longer duration, and where anyone who connects to a particular artifact can comment, respond, like or link to it, and can add their own hashtags, actions that parallel those of the traditional archivist.

The project thus proposes social media as an explicitly non-objective and self-consciously collaborative alternative to traditional archival methods, and as a unique tool for expanding the definition and influence of community and regional identity in the 21st century. A continually evolving platform, social media's contemporary popularity and global reach contrasts with simplified definitions of regional identity, prompting fresh engagement and reflection. As a multilayered exhibition 7000 Acres aims to provoke dialogue around our understandings of the idea of community and to consider evolving concepts of place and its impact on individual identity today.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
