Who Are We?
Who Are We?
The Portland All Souls River Procession is a creation of Wildland Roots, an eclectic collective of artists, storytellers, land-tenders, puppeteers, poets, dancers, and musicians who share an interest in place-based arts, and in tapping into the imagery of mythology and folklore to help navigate our way through challenging times.
We are primarily based at Green Anchors on the bank of the Willamette River in North Portland, Oregon.
The key players of Wildland Roots and PDX All Souls are as follows:
Moni J. Sears (they/them)Procession Co-founder
