Link to full story in bio:
Mike Bennett’s Dinolandia exhibit, which is showing in Portland until Sept. 10, appeals to the inner child in its visitors, presenting vibrant, fun cartoon dinosaurs which come to life as you travel back in time to the prehistoric era. One of the best parts of being a child is one’s ability to imagine, question and explore the world unfettered by stress and unbound by reality—to understand the world as it is and as it could be within the invention of one’s own imagination. Bennett’s exhibit aims to revive this feeling in his visitors, as well as to spark joy and teach both the kids and the kids-at-heart about dinosaurs.

Link to full opinion in bio:
For the past few years, downtown Portland businesses have increasingly begun to hire security guards in order to protect their property from those most affected by the many crises of our world. This is a mistake.

I work and attend school downtown and, like many people, I am afraid at times. But the decision to contract with armed, unaccountable, minimally-trained private security companies is as dangerous as it is commonplace, and the impact it has on employees and the community in which many of us live and work is real.

It is important to understand the current context of Portland and to consider how the Portland Business Alliance, Portland Police Association and conservative Political Action Committees (PACs)—like People for Portland—have engaged in a full-court press intended to control the levers of power in our city. These organizations have consistently used their resources on disingenuous ad campaigns meant to skew perceptions of Portland as they continue to over-police people who lack resources.

OP: Since I started paying close attention to politics over the last eight years, I have noticed time and time again calls for a general strike as a response to various repressive policies or legislation, the latest of which being a call for a general strike in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

While a general strike that shut downs the economy would give bargaining power back to the working class when negotiating with a capitalist elite who are exploiting their labor at an increasing rate, the foundation required to pull off a large-scale coordinated general strike is missing enough pieces to make the chances of that happening frustratingly low.

Link to full story in bio:
It’s clear from first glance that the Fool’s Gold exhibit transforms the gallery into something unique. As a result of the orange layer pasted over the usually clear windows at Portland’s HOLDING Contemporary gallery, the normally white walls inside appear neon orange. Upon entering the gallery, the orange light fades, but still subtly bathes the Pacific Northwest space in a light reminiscent of the Mojave Desert, where Fool’s Gold exhibit artist Jodie Cavalier grew up.

The subject matter of Cavalier’s work often revolves around the lives of her family members, and this project is no exception. It focuses on the life of Cavalier’s grandfather, who passed away from COVID-19 in 2021. Cavalier’s show is a multimedia project that uses ceramics, seemingly ordinary objects and a select few printed pieces to transform the gallery space.

The show runs from June 3 to July 30, with gallery hours from Friday to Saturday 12–5 p.m. A closing ceremony will be held on July 30 at the gallery from 5–7 p.m. and include a publication that will provide additional context for different pieces in the exhibit.

Link to full story in Bio.
NEWS: Portlanders will vote on a ballot measure that would dramatically alter the structure of Portland city government this November. The proposal would make three major changes to Portland’s charter. First, it would institute ranked choice voting for city elected officials, allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference rather than casting a single vote for one candidate.

Second, it would increase the number of city council members from five to 12, with three each representing four new geographic districts.

Third, the proposal would give sole legislative authority to the city council, removing the mayor entirely from council except in the case of a tie-breaking vote. Instead, the mayor would have exclusively administrative powers, and the authority to nominate city officials for the council’s approval. A new city administrator would take control of overseeing the city’s bureaucracy, a role that is currently fulfilled by the five commissioners.

Photo essay by Eric Shelby:
The Portland Timbers shut out the Seattle Sounders 3-0 at Seattle’s home field in a game that was the latest installment of a decades-long rivalry. This rivalry has been active since their first match in 1975, and Seattle currently leads it 65-55-15. Prior to the match, the Sounders unveiled their CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) Champions League (CCL) Champions banner they received after winning the tournament earlier this year.

The Great Mussel Die-off. Western freshwater musse

The Great Mussel Die-off. Western freshwater mussel populations are dying. According to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of invertebrate species, freshwater mussels are under threat from the construction of dams, pollution, the effects of climate change and other changes to their aquatic habitat. In an article titled “Extinction Risk of Western North American Freshwater Mussels,” co-authors Emilie Blevens and Sarina Jepsen stated that freshwater mussel species diversity “declined 35% across western watersheds by area, and among the most historically diverse watersheds, nearly half now support fewer species/clades.” 📸 @_leoweo_

Theater Review: Portland Shakespeare Project’s modern translation of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale
Philip Guevra-Leontes. David Kinder/Portland Shakespeare Project.
Life is complicated. Love, trust, hope, sadness, grief, betrayal—emotions and how we experience them are seldom back and white. Like many humans throughout history, Shakespeare explored the depths of emotion through art and creative work. Several centuries later, we still perform Shakespeare’s works and use them to explore what it means to be human and all the complexities that come with experiencing our emotions.

Portland Shakespeare Project is putting on one such performance at Portland Playhouse from July 7 to July 17: a modern verse adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale.
