We build this city! Art and the civic imagination

2026-06-07T21:00:00Z

Common Objects
2601 1st Ave
Seattle, WA 98121
Sunday, June 7, 2026, 2 – 4pm

Let’s learn together about art, artists, and the city! Join us for conversation and hands-on making with four dynamic artists working on projects as part of the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture’s collective imagining, We Still Dream a Future.

The Children of Shelly's Leg are celebrating queer and trans lives in Seattle’s historic gay neighborhood. Lila Thomas is curating an exhibition of Black figurative paintings rooted in community. Milvia Pacheco co-directs Grief Rituals, a series addressing the theme of migration through collective experiences of grieving and healing.

The hands-on workshop portion of the program requires no special skills or experience. Free and open to everyone, register here!

Hosted by Matthew Offenbacher and Common Area Maintenance. Supported by the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture as part of the commUNITY series, a selection of free public programs that center on connection, career development, and the co-creation of art curated by ARTS at King Street Station Advisors.

About the host:
Matthew Offenbacher is a long-time Seattle artist and community organizer. His work has been called “freakishly egoless,” vulnerable, funny and queer. Over the past several years, he has made an installation of protection charms in I-5 Colonnade Park, a painting installation with four dancers, a musician and a bystander intervention trainer, and a giant walk-in fish belly made of PVC pipe that was also a percussion instrument and temporary performance space.

About the series:
The commUNITY series is a selection of free public programs that center connection, career development, and the co-creation of art. Curated by ARTS at King Street Station Advisors, this series brings together their visions and talents to build community, engage attendees in powerful arts practices, and offer free career development and skill-building for all ages.

We Still Dream a Future features more than thirty artists and artist groups performing, dancing, installing, learning, organizing, and exhibiting around Downtown, the C-ID, Pioneer Square, Stadium District, Union and King Street Stations this year.

REVIVAL Juneteenth returns for its 5th Anniversary event on Saturday, June 20 from 12 - 5pm at Midtown Square Plaza!! 🙌🏾 Join us to celebrate Blackness in all its forms as our city's premier creatives, culinary greats, and esteemed entrepreneurs unite to showcase their talents!

REVIVAL Juneteenth pulls down the curtains & addresses a very often hidden truth: supporting our own people was *MADE* to be difficult. Black-Owned Business are often dispersed throughout cities and are less likely to receive external funding to promote or develop their companies.

✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 This annual event was created to completely eliminate those barriers by platforming local Black visionaries and providing a space for our community to spread love in the beautiful outdoors!

☀️ There will be food on the grill, music in the air, and endless opportunities to connect with local businesses & community members!!

Seattle, WA 98144
Monday, June 22, 2026, 6 – 7:30pm

Black futurist literary lieux compels us to engage in generative dialogue and reflection about the substance of our living as Black folks – to dream our futures, in light of the complexities of our pasts and present. We highlight and even venerate the ancestral, as we grieve the layers of suffering that have been inflicted – the dystopias of Diaspora dealings – and imagine futures unfettered. We consider the possibilities, implications, and ethical considerations of modern technologies and trends in design. Literally, and literarily, what do our (liberated) Black futures comprise?

Each month, we will devote our attention to a selected title from within these vast categories, centering the works of foundational authors such as Octavia E. Butler and Samuel Delany, alongside contemporary writers including Rivers Solomon, N.K. Jemisin, Tomi Adeyemi, and others.

Their debut album, Bite Down (Mint Records, April 2025), was met with critical acclaim and quickly established Ribbon Skirt as one of the most compelling new voices in indie music - earning Stereogum’s Album of the Week and a shortlist nomination for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.

Black Futures Book Club

2026-07-28T01:00:00Z

Virtual
Monday, July 27, 2026, 6 – 7:30pm

Black futurist literary lieux compels us to engage in generative dialogue and reflection about the substance of our living as Black folks – to dream our futures, in light of the complexities of our pasts and present. We highlight and even venerate the ancestral, as we grieve the layers of suffering that have been inflicted – the dystopias of Diaspora dealings – and imagine futures unfettered. We consider the possibilities, implications, and ethical considerations of modern technologies and trends in design. Literally, and literarily, what do our (liberated) Black futures comprise?

Each month, we will devote our attention to a selected title from within these vast categories, centering the works of foundational authors such as Octavia E. Butler and Samuel Delany, alongside contemporary writers including Rivers Solomon, N.K. Jemisin, Tomi Adeyemi, and others.
