Formerly the home of Frank and Goldyne Green, Wa Na Wari now incubates Black art and belonging, organizing, and movement building. The house was home to multiple generations of the extended Green family and their friends from the early 1960s to 2013. Four artists—Inye Wokoma (Frank and Goldyne Green’s grandson), Elisheba Johnson, Rachel Kessler, and Jill Freidberg—co-founded Wa Na Wari in 2019, with a vision to reclaim Black cultural space and elevate the importance of Black land ownership in gentrified communities at the site of this fifth-generation, Black-owned home.
