America, I sing you back webheader

America, I sing back. Sing back what sung you in.
Sing back the moment you cherished breath.
Sing you home into yourself and back to reason.

Excerpt from “America, I Sing You Back,” by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke

The work in this group exhibition gives voice to hope: confronting the isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic, addressing historical and contemporary racial injustice, and strengthening the cultural connections that can unite us as a global community. Created or facilitated by MCAD alumni and affiliated faculty, these varied projects engage in physical acts of reclamation and proclamation.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
