PARADICE AVENUE SOUF
Paradice Avenue Souf (PAS) exists to preserve a sense of belonging and community for all within South Seattle. We are a burgeoning youth-centered Black and Brown artist collective, rooted in South Seattle. With lead artists Ari Glass, Harry Clean, and Jordan Nicholson and arts manager Gavin Amos-Lopez, PAS brings a national model of Black Creative Placemaking work to the local region, joined in Black and Brown solidarity reflective of the unique history of segregated Seattle with African American and Asian Pacific American communities, growing up together and in our case, creating art, holding space, and taking action alongside one another. While transition and change can tear communities apart and isolate neighbors, PAS seeks to acknowledge and welcome people from broad backgrounds and bring lasting empowerment to vulnerable communities.
