House/Full of Blackwomen - Culminating Episode (15)

This Too Shall Pass: The Portal is Open

March 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12, 2023

@ Eastside Arts Alliance with additional sites

House/Full of Blackwomen is a site responsive ritual performance project that addresses issues of displacement, well being, and sex trafficking of Black women and girls in Oakland created by amara tabor-smith and Ellen Sebastian Chang in collaboration with a core group of Black women artists and activists. Set in various public sites throughout Oakland over a 7 ½ year period, this community engaged project is performed as a series of “Episodes” that are driven by the core question, “How can we, as black women and girls find space to breathe, rest and be well within a stable home?” In March, we will close this project with this final episode experience.

Masks required at all events.
