The Portland Art Museum is highlighting Black Artists of Oregon collectively for the first time. The exhibition captures Black diasporic experiences in the Pacific Northwest, dating back from the 19th century to present day. That means stories full of love, joy, anger and darkness from almost 70 Black artists. The exhibition is up until March 31.

Intisar Abioto, artist and curator of Black Artists of Oregon
Eric Slade, OPB Oregon Art Beat producer
