Prismid Sanctuary is an eco-cultural hub in Portland, OR created by and for Indigenous, Black & all POC artists and cultural workers.
Prismid supports the wellness and productivity of BIPoC artists and cultural workers by stewarding culturally attuned indoor and outdoor space for them to create, present, rest, and engage with community and land.
We believe that culturally diverse, cost-free arts & wellness programming improves community wellness, economic resilience and livability in our city - and our world!
Land + People Acknowledgement
Prismid Sanctuary honors the Indigenous peoples of this place with our commitment to prioritizing the needs of Black and Indigenous artists & cultural-workers and the tending of our inter-communal relationships in co-liberation with all communities of color.
Since time immemorial the Indigenous peoples of these lands, the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, Wasco, bands of the Chinook, and many other Tribes call the confluence of the Willamette and Nichiwa their home.
Their connection to living along the rivers, stewarding the land and waters remains strong. The Columbia river valley has always been a place of gathering, where community comes to trade, tend plant kin, fish the rivers, pray, celebrate, create, dance, sing and be in community.
Prismid Sanctuary holds both reparations for Black people and land-back to Indigenous people as central to our world-building, and to a collective present and future we are invested in.
