~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In these times of collective amnesia and erasure, remembering is resistance.
Two weeks of exhibits, tours, performances, and conversations lifting up the stories that shape the world we live in and imagining a future where we all belong.
Join us for two weeks of memory activism to explore the many silenced histories that surround us. Join us for exhibits, tours, performances, screenings, talks and celebrations to Remember, Repair, and Reclaim our shared past, and RE-imagine our collective story.
The Tenth Vanport Mosaic Festival is made possible by the Autzen Foundation, Oregon Historical Society, Marie Lamfrom Foundation, NW Naito Foundation, and City of Portland Office of Arts and Culture, Metro, Portland Parks And Recreation, and Travel Portland.
