PJALS Seattle Summer Party
Thursday, July 25th 6-8pm
TASWIRA Gallery
510 Occidental Ave S | Seattle, WA
Our PJALS community includes many relationships in the Seattle area. As part of our commitment to strengthening relationships for long-term transformational organizing to build collective power and dismantle structural oppression, we are coming to Seattle in July!
We invite you to join us for a party in the beautiful TASWIRA Gallery for Seattle-area members, partners, and new friends. Hors d’oeuvres, wine, and non-alcoholic sparkling beverages will be served as we share what we have been doing and why Spokane-area organizing is vital to statewide progressive wins. We’d love to get to know you better!
TASWIRA, which means “vision” in Swahili, stands for Transformative Action for Sustainable Women’s Initiatives & Resources in Africa. Established by Avery Barnes in 2019, TASWIRA is a versatile and eclectic space located in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square that functions as a Cultural Art gallery, retail store, and event space. Following her first experience volunteering at the Bamburi Women’s Empowerment Center (BWEC) in Kenya, Avery founded the organization as a way to support the female artisans at the center who handcrafted TASWIRA’s unique line of Afrocentric streetwear, accessories, handwoven home goods, and other retail products.
