Instagram, 📢 Now hiring—a special 6-month position to organize and lead 3 community listening sessions—a co-visioning process with Black community members and Black artists.
The Museum is in the midst of fundraising for the Black Art and Experiences (BAE) initiative and we aim to lay a foundation for this new program. We are seeking a community-based facilitator to co-coordinate and lead a series of listening sessions with groups of Black Portlanders. This collaborative planning process aims to create feedback channels and strengthen relationships that will nurture the BAE initiative during its formative stage.
As the facilitator, you will engage with a committee of PAM staff members to envision and co-coordinate this process: Sara Krajewski (Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art) and Jaleesa Johnston (Curatorial Coordinator), and including Teena Wilder (Art Bridges Curatorial Fellow), Amber Edwards (Head of Public Engagement and Programs) and Stephanie Parrish (Director of Learning and Community Partnerships).
This project is supported in part by @us_imls, @1803fund, and @meyermemorialtrust.

Instagram, 🗣️ "Paper or plastic?"
After California’s ban on single-use plastic bags that went into effect in 2016, Analia Saban produced a series of sculptural prints in the shape of plastic bags.
Aided by master printers, she applied relief prints onto handmade paper formed using molds made from bags Saban collected from corner stores and bodegas around Los Angeles.
📍 Find this, PAM favorites, and new acquisitions in “Throughlines,” an exhibition co-curated across departments to explore common themes that unite works across the collection in unexpected ways. On view through March 30.
