Don’t Shoot Portland is excited to once again invite advocates of social justice to our 10th annual Juneteenth celebrations, which will embody liberation work through activism, free art making and youth music education resources. Our commemoration of Juneteenth centers art in a way that allows the community to come together to honor formerly enslaved ancestors while acknowledging the progress that is still being made.
More of Julians’ work can be seen in a current group exhibition at Russo Lee Gallery now through July 1.
