Vin Shambry
An Opera - a conversation - a painting. Devised by Vin Shamby and Matthew Kerrigan
This devised, traveling performance art piece, was developed to engage audiences in a jazz-like conversion with artist Vin Shambry as he talks (and paints) about his experience as a black man dealing with homelessness, whiteness, and the real Portlandia. Join our conversation as we explore a new way of storytelling and audience engagement in this visually stunning (totally instagramable) new work.
Join us at 5pm -6pm for A Place Called Home: Past, Present and Future of Housing Our Communities and start for the performance
A look back at Portland’s housing history by Kimberland Moreland, followed by a roundtable conversation facilitated by Allan Lazo/Fair Housing Council.
