For us it is also a call to action.\n\nWe bel ieve artists have the responsibility to curate artistic spaces that aren't merely a distraction\, rather\, are responsive to our local and global co mmunity in alignment with our collective liberation. We divest from the zi onist networks that are prevalent in the comedy and art scene in Portland\ , and resist by creating our own spaces.\n\nVenue: Curious Comedy Theate r (Annex)\n\nAddress: 5229 Northeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard\, STE 103\n\nPortland\, OR 97214\n\nDoors @6:30 PM / Show Starts @7:00 PM\n \nVendors will be tabled when doors open\, and gracing us with art and foo d\n\nTicket Sales: 65\n\nMax Capacity: 75\n\nShow Features:\n\nPoets: Ale x Dang\, Ari-Aquilla Suand &\; Farah Dinga\n\nMusic Performance By: C HERA CHERA\n\nBurlesque Performance By: Hibiscus Lust\n\nMusic By: DJ Wild child\n\nVendors: Mulberry Jaan &\; Vegan Syrian\n\nHosted by: Armaan Singh &\; JC Troopa\n\nAccessibility: This venue is ADA accessible. T his is a mask required event. We ask that all attendees respect our mask policy to ensure safety for high-risk community members. We will have KN9 5 masks avaialble at the door. We ask that food be eaten outside.
