“The Ave” was once the vibrant heart of Portland’s Black community. How times have changed.
Our goal is to speak through art to the remaining African Americans in the N Williams area and share the stories of both those remaining and those who have left, in order encourage a community which has regularly been trod upon by public policy and actions.
Cleo Davis and Kayin Talton Davis have been designing and printing together for over a decade.
If you are interested in learning more about the project, inviting us to speak, or just dig our style and want to support us, drop us line or two.
