"Pavement" offers one of Portland's first live shows since the beginning of the pandemic

Portland artists joined together recently for Pavement, a socially distanced evening of pop-up performances in a public parking lot. Audience members watched from their cars while some of the city’s best singers, dancers and spoken word artists performed.

The evening was presented by Portland nonprofits Risk/Reward and Boom Arts. Featured performers included Portland Opera singer Onry, Rejoice! Diaspora Dance Theater artistic director Oluyinka Akinjiola and improvisational musician Amenta Abioto.
