Mission Statement
The SWANA Rose Culture + Community Center is a gathering space centering those with lineages tied to Southwest Asia and North Africa, focused on education, arts, and intersectional solidarity.
Statement of Intent
The SWANA Rose Culture + Community Center serves our communities as an all volunteer-run third space, and is a reflection of the people that host and attend events in the space. We are a resource for communities in Portland and beyond to host SWANA cultural events, both open to the public and for our specific communities only. Our space is also available for use by other communities in our affinity, as well as any events organized in alignment with our guiding principles that the broader community is welcome to attend.
