Walk the Block: Celebrating Black Art and Community in Seattle’s Central District

Wa Na Wari's annual Walk the Block event once again brought the Central District to life, showcasing a celebration of Black art, culture, and community spirit. The two-day gathering invited attendees to explore the historic neighborhood, experiencing diverse art installations and live performances along every block.

Art filled the streets with creativity, from musical performances that echoed through the neighborhood to classic cars gleaming as symbols of style and resilience. The spirit of the Central District shines in each artist's soul, and the event served as a reminder of the legacy of Black culture and the resilience that continues to shape the community.

Wa Na Wari's dedication to uplifting Black voices was palpable, creating a space where the past, present, and future could converge in a powerful celebration. Through Walk the Block, Wa Na Wari not only honors the history of the Central District but also shapes its future, ensuring that the legacy of Black culture thrives for generations to come.
