TOGETHER
2024-03-28 - 2024-10-14 | the M (Minnesota Museum of American Art), 350 Robert Street North, St Paul, MN, 55101, United States
Together is a mixed media art exhibition featuring artwork from ten Minnesota artist families of diverse ages and family structures who have created individual and communal work for the exhibition. Artists Emmett and Kit Ramstad conceived this project to elevate children’s artwork and provide a space for parent artists to support each other as they fulfill the roles of parents and artists while raising a new generation of makers. Together uplifts mixed generational creativity by showcasing artists who have contributed hugely to Minnesota’s artistic community and their children who are integral influences to their practice.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
Sayge Carroll, Morgan Laramy; Preston Drum, Elvis and Leroy Drum; Isa Gagarin, Rae Gordon; Pao Her, Vince and Kailee Yang; Amanda Lovelee, Walden Waites; Avigail Manneberg, Kaiah and Micah Manneberg-Tompkins; Emmett Ramstad, Kit Aizura Ramstad; Anna Marie Shogren, Wally Glenn-Shogren; Aki Shibata, Atom Shibata Pliner and Yukiko Shibata Colburn; Jonathan Thunder, Mino Hart Thunder

An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife

Join the Walker Art Center for a free talk as part of the Nightlife as Form series!
An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife
Much of the history of queer nightlife remains unwritten. Historically, this heritage has been passed on through stories, memories, and the experience of being there. Seeking to document a small portion of the Twin Cities’ vast queer history, the second installment of the series Nightlife as Form, An Oral History of Minneapolis Queer Nightlife, gathers several generations of local queer nightlife practitioners to share their inspirations, challenges, and learnings. From the 1990s Homocore movement to trans and queer punk spaces, as well as today’s nightlife practitioners, this evening celebrates and makes visible some of these too-often unwritten histories.
Following the panel, join us for a drink in the Main Lobby to celebrate local queer nightlife artists.
Panelists include Shannon Blowtorch, Siren DeLuna (Sci-Fi), Venus de Mars, All the Pretty Horses, and Ed Varga (Homocore Minneapolis and Homo A Go Go).
