The Vanport Mosaic with The Project presents SOUL’D: the economics of our Black body (the Black joy edition), a new performance piece adapted for film, engaging questions of how our Black bodies have participated in the American Economic Dream. Conceived by Damaris Webb and devised by a cohort of local Black performers, designers and filmmakers.

Sourcing first hand narratives, legislation, iconic tropes, current events and personal stories, we position ourselves to gaze through the macro-cosms of slavery to present day post-Obama backlash. What is Black wealth? What is Black joy? How has Black American growth manifest - despite disenfranchisement in passing on wealth through land ownership, knowledge of lineage, and financial freedom?
