Vanport Mosaic Festival: Placekeeping
Saturday, June 1st, 2024
An Afternoon of Rooting and Re-Storying | Pop-up exhibits, tours, performances, singing, a community altar on the Indigenous land where Vanport once stood and Japanese Americans were unjustly incarcerated.
Bring a cup for lemonade/tea, your voice to sing along with a Threshold Choir, and an open heart to transmute pain, celebrate survivance, and everything in between.
We will root into this place through various stories of place curated over the nine years of this festival. We will re-story our intentions and imaginations for this place, and the numerous people impacted.
Featuring: Joni Kimoto, Viola DeVigal, Charlotte Bridgeman. Celia Ferrer
Reading starts at 1pm - followed by community conversations
