Black, Brown, and Red Power in Minneapolis: A Conversation with James Curry and Dr. Jimmy Patiño

Join artist James Curry and historian Dr. Jimmy Patiño for a conversation on the collaboration and connection between Black, Indigenous, and Chicano communities and their movements for autonomy, self-determination and liberation in both the civil and post-civil rights era in Minneapolis, the Twin Cities, and the Nation. These three movements sought to address the societal and structural inequalities facing these diverse communities and neighborhoods with more immediacy. The North side of Minneapolis is primarily where all three groups' struggles intersected against the structural forces that sought to disenfranchise them.
Curry and Patiño will discuss their own processes engaging with this history and how their collaboration transformed the scholarship across media into the exhibition soulforce: the movements of memory.
This is a participating event with We Want More History, a nationwide weekend of public history programming.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
This event is free and open to the public and registration is not required, but attendees are encouraged to RSVP. Tickets are not required for admission.
