A collaborative exhibit co-created by Vanport Mosaic and Design As Protest Collective
Take a memory-activism walk on North Park Blocks, and immerse yourself in Oregon's silenced histories, as told by underrepresented and historically marginalized communities.
Vanport Mosaic, in collaboration with Design As Protest collective and a growing number of groups, individuals and cultural institutions, will activate a series of vacant storefront windows with history displays that celebrate communities' strength and inspire us to join in solidarity and action.
This museum without walls is instigated by Michelle Comer - facilitated by VanportMosaic/Story Midwife Laura Lo Forti and Community Weaver Chisao Hata - coordinated and designed by Design As Protest/Karim Hassanein, Sophia Austrin, Emily Wakdinger - and co-created with:
