Full Program:

Lost City, Living Memories:
Vanport Through The Voices of Its Residents
Join us for a screening
of short oral history documentaries, part of the Vanport Mosaic living archive, with special guests from the Vanport Community, and songs by the
Northwest Freedom Singers
WHEN:

WHERE:
Historic Alberta House 5131 NE 23rd Ave, Portland, OR 97211
TICKETS:
$5 students/seniors, $15 general
A “miracle city.” A “sociological experiment.” A “municipal monstrosity.” A “nasty ghetto.”
During its short life span (1942-1948) Vanport--Oregon’s second largest city and the nation’s largest public housing project--drew national attention and conflicting opinions.
For the over 40,000 people who lived there, Vanport was simply their home.
When the Columbia River flooded in 1948, on Memorial Day, the entire city was erased from the map and much of Portland’s memory in a single day.
Through nearly a decade of collaboration with the Vanport community, Vanport Mosaic has established the largest collection of oral histories related to Vanport, ensuring the preservation and honor of one of Oregon's most pivotal historical communities
.
Through archival footage, historic photographs, and compelling first-person narratives,
Lost City, Living Memories
creates a rich and elaborate “mosaic” of the vibrant community that made up the city of Vanport, and commemorates the tragedy that displaced it.
NW Freedom Singers
are going to take us through Vanport and WWII to Albina and Dawson Park and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and on to Church and the heartbeat of Portland’s Black Community.
Performing tonight, along with Ron are Vanport descendant, Eldon "T” Jones on Saxophone and vocals, Tim Ribner on keyboard, and Antoinette Saunders, Rosie Lovings, Jeanine Wiggins, Letha McCleod, and Amber Cobb.

Artwork by Henk Pander: "The Climate Refugees of Vanport"
Originally from the Netherlands, Henk Pander was a child during WWII. Since immigrating to the PNW in 1965, he became one of the most renowned artists. This art giant passed away on April 7th, 2023, but his legacy continues through his artwork.
Vanport: The Surge of Social Change
A historical photo exhibit documenting the life, destruction, and aftermath of the largest WWII shipbuilding community in the U.S., co-curated by Vanport Mosaic and Oregon Black Pioneers.
Beyond Vanport: Remembering Native North Portland –
Artwork by Peggy Ball-Morrill
Klamath/Modoc artist Peggy Ball-Morrill’s paintings portray a community nearly invisible in popular culture where representations of native people are often limited to Westerns or cartoons. The paintings remember a close-knit native community at a time when federal termination and relocation policies threatened Native survival. Peggy passed away in August of 2015.

Kintsugi
(金継ぎ,
gold joinery
) is the Japanese craft of repairing ceramics. Fractures are no longer weak points, but beautiful elements. This philosophy is often taught as embracing imperfections in our life, the beauty of human flaws.
During the 2.5-hour workshop, you will learn how to repair ceramics with the modern Kintsugi methods finishing the joints with gold powder. Bring a couple ceramic pieces. All materials will be provided to repair them. Tools are returned to us.
Workshop instructions:
Bring one or two damaged ceramics.
The material must be ceramic, pottery, or porcelain
. No glass or wood. A damaged family heirloom or items that are broken into numerous pieces would be challenging to attempt for the first time. Instead, bring something easier.
Items must be glazed, cracks must be within 5 pieces and chips must be within 1/2 inches. A few ceramic bowls will be available for purchase at the workshop. Items' original size must be within 12 inches. The larger and heavier, the more difficult. Decoration is recommended after all repairs have been made.
While the traditional Kintsugi requires skills, techniques, and time, this modern method is for all skill levels
18yo & up
!
All materials are included in the workshop fee. Bring a cardboard box or something similar that will allow you to carry your items home without touching the repaired parts.
This class will be taught by Emi Joyce, formerly a full-time bench jeweler and apparel designer, currently a kintsugi restorer and a natural dyer. You can learn more about her kintsugi work via Instagram, @modernkintsugirepairpdx

SPIRITUS Portland | THE DEN

Portland
Join us for SPIRITUS
A deep journey inwards working with the power of our Breath to access altered states of consciousness.
This provides healing and integration of our nervous system, physical and emotional bodies and creates the space to remember who we truly are as whole beings.
As we breathe in a connected way, we come into our own rhythm, we access our bodies own innate healing power.
Our body remembers what our mind forgets.
Our body holds on to past memories, emotions and trauma. When we breathe deep and connected we give ourselves permission to release these suppressed energies from our body, we are able to let go and dissolve all that is no longer ours to hold any more.
And when we do so, we create spaciousness and freedom from within.
This is a personal healing journey.
Spiritus is a system where we use breath, sound and movement to release stuck, heavy energies from the body to create freedom and liberation within.
During the breathwork you will receive energetic healing and body work to allow the body to shift and move so that you may find harmony within.
