As part of the Soul Restoration Project residency at 14 NE Killingsworth St.—a storefront that was famously once a feminist bookstore called In Other Words—Portland State University professor Darrell Grant collaborated with community members to plan a pop-up market: Kwanzaa on Killingsworth. Not satisfied merely to sell artwork and artisan goods, the day also hosted a performance by blues and gospel singer LaRhonda Steele and conversation between visual artist Bobby Fouther and author D’Norgia Taylor-Price. There’s still one more chance to take part in the fun and buy local goods from Black creators and businesses: The last Kwanzaa on Killingsworth of 2021 is open from noon to 5 pm Sunday, Dec. 19.
