Queering Indigeneity Tour: An Art Explorers Event

What a day of art we have planned for our second event! We will meet at 10:45 AM at the Minnesota Museum of American Art ("the M") for an 11 am guided tour of the exhibit Queering Indigeneity. This project celebrates the vision and diversity of 2-Spirit, Native queer, gender expansive artists in the Upper Midwest. In seeking out and amplifying voices of Indigenous artists and culture bearers, the M hopes to influence the types of artists who are supported, seen, and centered at the museum, and to show both Indigenous and non-Indigenous visitors a more comprehensive and complex story of this region’s art and artists. Our tour will last about an hour, following which we will transition to the F-O-K studios art building just a few blocks away. There we will share discussion over (bring-your-own) bag lunches in their community lounge. Art explorers will provide coffee and dessert bars, and Martha Bird will open her studio at the building for our group to tour. You can also explore the F-O-K studio building in general. See what other amazing artists it houses! Due to the M's guided tour limitations, this event will be capped at 24 participants. Please plan to attend both parts. Staying for some discussion is an integral part of this group's purpose.
