SUMMARY:Blood on The Pavement - Proposals Due
DESCRIPTION:“Blood on the Pavement”: An Open Call For Artists\nPoet\, artist\, and Coaching Project for a Better World Project Manager\,  Ashley Richardson\, believes all art has immediate social\, political\, and cultural power. She also believes in using this power to spark conversation and catalyze change. With help from team members\, and funding through ACW’s Coaching Project for a Better World\, Richardson will create an art exhibit for the greater Twin Cities area tentatively titled\, “Blood on The Pavement.” \nThe exhibit\, scheduled to open May 2022\, is seeking artists to collaborate with and feature. \nThose interested in exhibiting with “Blood on the Pavement\,” or learning more about this project\, can email richardson.exhibits@gmail.com.\n“Blood on The Pavement” will focus on addressing violence against black bodies\, both verbally and physically\, from microaggressions to police brutality. However\, in its early stages\, there is still room to be surprised. A believer that art should never end where it began\, Richardson is open to exploring other meanings behind the phrase “blood on the pavement\,” with a particular interest in violence against women’s bodies and marginalized communities. Through collaboration with her ACW team and potential exhibiting artists\, Richardson hopes to see this project unfold in unexpected new ways. \nFor this project\, Richardson will write a series of 5 to 10 poems exploring the social injustices mentioned above and asks that artists use these poems as a jumping-off point for their artwork. Please note there is no “correct” interpretation of the poems. Richardson is solely interested that artists create pieces (as they see fit) to express the feelings and thoughts inspired by her words. Artists will receive small stipends to help cover and/or offset the costs of materials\, with a possibility for additional payments depending on budgets. Richardson is seeking artists from a range of mediums\, i.e. sculpture\, painting\, mixed media\, collage\, printmaking\, sound\, and more. \nIf you would like to learn more about this project\, or have leads on potential venues\, please email richardson.exhibits@gmail.com. Artists interested in exhibiting with “Blood on the Pavement” should send 3 to 4 sample pieces\, along with a brief (4 to 5 sentences) statement of interest by November 1\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Native American Heritage Month Begins
DESCRIPTION:By Laura-Mann-Hill Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator. \n \nI live near Haha Wakpa\, the Mississippi River\, that connects all waters and all lives where we live.The river is made of many small drops that flow together – like our individual commitments to learning and unlearning can bring us together. \n  \nNovember is Native American Heritage Month. Although one month is never enough time to fully celebrate or honor any cultural heritage\, it is always a reminder to celebrate and honor the rich and diverse cultures and traditions\, knowledge\, and contributions of Indigenous people. Those who call Minnesota home live on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people who have stewarded this place for thousands of years. It has been home to and cared for and by many other Indigenous nations\, including the Ojibwe and the HoChunk. I continue my ongoing journey to incorporate more practices into my life that affirm Indigenous sovereignty and Black Liberation. I recently emerged from an experience exploring this topic hosted by Million Artist Movement which included a talk with Dr. Chris Mato Nunpa: https://youtu.be/ppEpVBrgQCo \n  \n“Everyone has a responsibility to divest from anti-Blackness and to respect Indigenous sovereignty (and specifically tribal sovereignty). And for those who carry the political\, legal\, and social currency of whiteness and benefit from these systems that oppress and attempts to stifle the future of Black\, Indigenous\, and other people of color\, I believe it is their responsibility to use their currency to dismantle said systems with the intention of forfeiting their privilege and positionality within this hierarchy.” \n – Amber Starks \nWe must acknowledge land theft and genocide; learn more about the land we reside on – learn the names of places that are not colonized. Learn about land reparations and how we can honor treaties – and take action in movements like to Stop Line 3 to protect the river and us all! \n(Quilt square created by Friends Mississippi River Youth Council member with Million Artist Movement) \nMore Resources:  \nStop Line 3: tinyurl.com/ResistLine3 \nHonor Treaties: http://treatiesmatter.org/exhibit/welcome/learn-more/ \nMní Wičhóni Mural: \nhttps://fmr.org/stewardship-updates/fmr-fifth-water-quality-mural-celebrates-community-connections-water \nAll My Relations Arts: biskaabiiyang (returning to ourselves) group exhibition investigating Indigenous Futurism http://www.allmyrelationsarts.com/ \nNever Homeless Before 1492: \nhttps://indiancountrytoday.com/news/never-homeless-before-1492 \nReclaiming Native Truth: https://youtu.be/SW-nYYY89D0 \nSay It!
