This art installation pays tribute to Albina's historic Black musician community. Through a combination of photography, newsprint, and poster art, archivist Bobby Smith and designer Brian Mumford have preserved, restored, and reimagined obscure media which documents this musician community. In collaboration with Paul Knauls (aka the "Mayor of Albina"), this work has engaged elders in the Albina musician community to source material and amplify their musical legacy. More info is available via Portland Design History.

The show remains in perpetuity at Clyde’s Prime Rib, one of Portland's few remaining venues actively hosting performances by Albina's elder musician community. The show can be viewed on the restaurant side of the venue, and is concentrated in the venue’s North Room. We encourage you to make a reservation here.
