The Welcome Table: Celebrating Juneteenth
Indigo Arts Alliance, 60 Cove St, Portland, ME 04101
To commemorate Juneteenth, the Indigo Arts Alliance (IAA) is bringing back one of its founding programs, The Welcome Table, an intergenerational symposium celebrating the cultural and culinary traditions of worldwide historical social justice movements. This event will take place at Indigo Arts Alliance. The gathering will feature art workshops, movement and meditation, cross-cultural history, community-building, and cooking led by local and national activists and cultural workers.
As IAA honors its fifth anniversary–a half decade marked by programs that support Black and Brown artists, as well as foster cultural exchange and promote social justice through the transformative power of the arts–it felt appropriate to bring back The Welcome Table, a gathering that Indigo first sponsored in 2019. Participants are invited to eat, talk, enjoy, give thanks, and just BE–all in a healthy, healing multiracial setting that creates space for everyone, and for the personal narratives that have informed, and continue to inform, our lives across continents and cultures.
