What it reported doing in 2025

ZAmya, North Loop Neighborhood Association and Avivo joined forces to create the project, Neighbors Being Neighbors In the North Loop, which aims to establish a shared vision in the North Loop of what needs to happen for all community members to feel safe, have shelter, and ensure support for the most vulnerable. In 2025, zAmya, Avivo, and North Loop Neighborhood Association (NLNA) rehearsed "DisPlace: A North Loop Fantasy Quest" over the winter. We held four performances March 13-16 for 400 people at Luminary Arts Center in North Loop neighborhood. Playwright Elle Thoni drew inspiration from the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons to explore an alternate reality where basic housing needs are met and fulfilled. The show had 25 performers, many of whom came from Avivo Village emergency shelter. Social service organizations tabled at each show, sharing resources, including Street Voices of Change, Aliveness Project, Native American Community Clinic, and others. Live intermission music provided by Brass Solidarity elevated the sense of radical, community based activism.Each show was nearly sold out with diverse crowds including individuals who had the lived experience of homelessness, people in social services, North Loopers, and activist-artists. zAmya Troupe Member Jada Windom shared, "My heart is so full of gratitude to have worked alongside everyone to educate and bring awareness. Every single day of this production was a blessing to me." Audience members left raving. One quote as an example: "Bravo to all involved. I love the joyful sense of community. Thank you all for that gift." Participant and Audience Total: 400
