Mní Futurism Opening Reception

Two pieces of art side by side

Shawl, by Jaida Grey Eagle, and Mercury Suspended, by Abbe Sunde

Join the Gordon Parks Gallery for the opening reception of Mní Futurism. Mní Futurism features the cultural and creative practices of two Native women, Minnesota-based multidisciplinary artists Jaida Grey Eagle and Abby Sunde, as they draw critical attention to the impacts water faces in their own communities—from pipelines, pollution, land use, and resource extraction—to their food sovereignty, fishing and treaty rights, and access to clean water.

The opening reception takes place 5–7:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24, with curatorial remarks at 7. The gallery is located at the university’s Saint Paul Campus on the first floor of the Library and Learning Center, 645 East Seventh Street.
