Vanport Mosaic

Come celebrate simple joys and large victories in this film adaptation of a theatrical work made to keep memory alive and ever present

Echo Theater Company

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 performer, designers and filmmakers.Sourcing first hand narratives, legislation, iconic tropes, current events and personal stories, we position ourselves to gaze through the macro-cosims 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?ECHO currently requires all people who enter the building to have a health screening before arrival, a temperate check at the door, to wash or sanitize hands upon arrival, and to wear a mask (covering nose and mouth) at all times.--------------------------This event is part of the 6th VANPORT MOSAIC FESTIVAL - We, The People May 26 - June 30, 2021Join us for virtual and in-person memory activism opportunities to  Remember Repair Reclaim Re-imagine our collective story.
