STREET ROOTS Vendor Poetry Reading Recap
WOW! What an amazing night!
The Street Roots poetry reading was incredibly moving. Each poet delivered a raw and powerful performance. Street Roots' restorative platforms for people's voices to be heard are deeply touching. These events remind us of the vital role we each have in our community, deepening the importance of connection and support. Thank you to all the poets for sharing their words and to everyone who supports Street Roots' mission. Together, we are stronger!
The May 22nd Street Roots Vendor Poetry Reading was sponsored by the Pearl District Neighborhood Association (PDNA) and our friends at the Portland Pearl Rotary Club. This event is part of PDNA's Storefront Activation Program in the Pearl. Our goal is to help revitalize Pearl by activating vacant storefronts to bring new energy to the neighborhood and enhance Pearl's reputation as a center for arts and culture. We are excited to partner with these organizations to share our vendors' poetic talent with the community and gather together!
Special thanks go to Gloria Feinstein, our neighbor and local artist, and Erandi Jones-Vegas/ Meadowlark Collective, who provided us with a lovely selection of photos, which you can see here.
