" A living archive where Philadelphia history, art, food, and community meet.”

​

Nearly 100% of the artworks in Kidd & Co Café’s “Lost & Found in Philly” collection have been found, preserved, and curated by owner and curator Ericka L Stewart.

 

Each piece reflects recovered Philadelphia cultural memory—art that may have been lost, overlooked, or disconnected from its community.

​

The collection parallels Kidd & Co Café’s food rescue and food justice mission through “We Feed the People,” treating both food and art as acts of preservation.

 

Rescued food nourishes the community, while preserved artwork restores cultural circulation and highlights social injustice, displacement, and the value of what is often forgotten.
