The Port art space in New Orleans opened its doors on Wednesday, July 13 for We Breathe. They Shoot., an event described by the organizers as a night of poetry, song & arts, with proceeds benefiting Alton Sterling’s family in Baton Rouge.
Throughout the night, guests enjoyed freshly-cut fruit, drinks, spoken word, music performances, but also gathered around opinion leaders such as Kalamu Ya Salaam and Angela Kinlaw who raised questions on organized activism and current social issues of race inequality, police brutality and more.
An array of local poets including Kataalyst Alcindor opened the event, music acts were provided by Max Moran & Neospectric, Quess, Baron Amato, Stefan Henry, A Lovely Triangle and many more.
