Kulture Klub Presents

Exhibit to showcase artistic work of youth from Kulture Klub Collaborative at the Hennepin County Government Center

This exhibition at the Hennepin Gallery showcases some of Kulture Klub Collaborative’s (KKC) more recent projects integrated with newly created visuals of common themes and participatory elements of their programming.

KKC’s youth are frequent visitors to the Government Center, mostly for difficult legal and county assistance matters, and seeing their own work professionally installed in the building will be impactful for both them and viewers.

Projects:

This Is Our Downtown - Letterpress posters and framed digital photography of the people and spaces that make up Downtown Minneapolis.  This work was a part of a year-long multimedia documentation of downtown and created with both Wing Young Huie and Nancy Musinguzi.

Highpoint Center for Printmaking - Prints created during a three-month class with artists Jonathan Herrera, Nancy Julia Hicks, and Tyler Green. The series focused on a different technique each week and each will be represented in the exhibit.

Weaving and Healing - Artist-in-residence Donald Thomas facilitated workshops around the construction of affirmation and gratitude mirrors. Each step of the construction had an element of healing practice and intention setting. Instructions for how the viewer can utilize these practices will be included in this display.

Northern Clay Center - Handbuilt ceramic pieces from a series at our regional ceramic art center with teaching artist Elizabeth Coleman.

Aerosol Mural - This summer KKC youth participated in our Hip Hop Academy, led by KKC staff members Alissa Paris and Joy Spika. Aerosol art classes will yield a 80” W x 60” H portable mural painted on individual 16” x 20” canvases.
