On Placekeeping & Preservation

Christopher R. Rogers

Founder of We Win from Within

Christopher Rogers will discuss how Friends of the Tanner House and project partners are leading an arts-rich participatory planning and preservation visioning process that invites community voices to have a say in the rehabilitation and proposed re-use of the Henry Ossawa Tanner House. This project centers the specific ways Black folks have shaped Philadelphia.

Christopher R. Rogers is an educator and cultural worker with more than a decade of experience supporting the arts, culture, and communities. Last year, he started We Win from Within, to provide justice-oriented artists, community groups, and not-for-profits with consulting, facilitation, and grant-writing services. Rogers also coordinates Friends of the Tanner House, which is incubating a revitalized Henry Ossawa Tanner House, whose significance combines Black heritage preservation and community cultural organizing. And he serves on the National Steering Committee for Black Lives Matter at School, spreading a racial justice curriculum and influencing policy in K-16 education.
