In collaboration with the Portland Mercury, writer Donovan Scribes presents BlackOut: a 5 Year Retrospective of Portland’s Racial Justice Protests, a first-of-its kind magazine print. 

To coincide with the launch, Scribes has partnered with The BLACK Gallery powered by DSPDX to curate an immersive exhibit inspired by the publication. BlackOut offers a unique opportunity for Portlanders and visitors to revisit our cities’ movement for Black lives while simultaneously reflecting on the progress and setbacks 5 years later.


The evening will include refreshments, music and remarks from artists and community members featured in the special edition. 

Please RSVP for attendance and email info@theblackgallerypdx.com for future appointments.
