What is the rhythm of our safety? 

This question is at the heart of Unit Souzou’s newest project, RHYTHM: Walking to the Heartbeat of our Community  which explores pedestrian safety in East Portland. 

Over the Summer of 2021, Unit Souzou is inviting community members to share their stories about walking, living, working and residing in East Portland. With the rise of Anti-Asian violence, COVID-19 restrictions relaxing, and historic disinvestment in East Portland, safety in public is urgent and multilayered. We are interested in documenting this unique time and share how our communities are imagining their safety as a result of their experiences over the past year.

Division Midway Alliance is hosting a mini version of our annual Festival of Nation event, "Taste of Nations," on Sunday, July 25th, from 12-2 pm at the DMA office premises.
