Don’t Shoot Portland is an arts and education organization that promotes social justice and civic participation. Our year-round programming allows us to advocate for community members facing racism and discrimination by providing legal representation and direct advocacy. Since our inception in 2016, Don’t Shoot Portland has hosted its own dialogues, community forums and workshops focusing on histo

ry, archiving and social culture. The art proponent of our work acts as a communicative tool to facilitate discussions about race in America while providing educational assets to those most affected by discrimination in public policy. As we uplift and amplify social movements around the world, your solidarity and commitment to change is the impact needed. We must continue to evolve alongside one another to extend this work. Our community action plan provides direct essential resources, legal advocacy and more to support communities that have been systemically marginalized. Our programming will remain free and low-barrier to keep our resources accessible to all.

Thank you all for the beautiful response to 𝐼𝓃𝒽𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝑀𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉! The support we receive from Don’t Shoot Portland has made The BLACK Gallery possible and we see the importance of its existence with each show that comes to life.

Inheritors of Movement is a four-person exhibition featuring works made by Black artists of immigrant descent. This multidisciplinary exhibition gathers members of the Black immigrant diaspora to explore the gifts, tribulations, griefs, and celebrations that come from their family’s migration from home to home. Centering Black immigrant descendants offers a unique chance to hold both communities together, build a wider coalition, and enact imaginations inspired by what we’ve inherited across movements – familial and political.
