Project Summary

DiasporaDNA is a mobile cultural center dedicated to archiving, celebrating, and activating Philadelphia’s diaspora communities. As Philadelphia approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026, DiasporaDNA sought a redesign of the Philly Festivals website — transforming it from a static listing into a more engaging, informative, and community-centered platform that reflects the cultural depth and ambition of the network.
