called “Stop Killing Us” is held this month at Holding Contemporary, a gallery in the Pearl District.
‘Stop Killing Us’ Exhibit Opens
Covers history of
Portland protests
for justice
As the global uprising for
Black lives continues, the Port-

action group Don’t Shoot Portland
presents Stop Killing Us: A Black
Lives Still Matter multimedia in-
stallation hosted this month at
Holding Contemporary, a gallery
located at 916 N.W. Flanders in
the Pearl District.
Don’t Shoot Portland has
brought past protest art out of stor-

to complete the exhibit, which
opens Thursday, Aug. 6 and runs
through Aug. 29. Gallery hours
are Thursday through Saturday,
12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Social distancing rules allow
for no more than two visitors in
the space at a time. Visitors must

bition via YouTube at www.bit.ly/
DSP_YouTube.
This is Holding Contempo-
rary’s second exhibition with
Don’t Shoot Portland.
The new presentation will be
both a memorial space and an
acknowledgement of the history
of social protest through photo-
graphs, protest posters and video.
