From Minneapolis Institute of Art:

On the Shoulders of Giants speaks to the idea that no artist or cultural movement exists in isolation. It acknowledges the influence of those who came before—the pioneers, mentors, and visionaries who shaped the ways we create art and culture today. DJ Keezy and DJ Sci-Fi have both used music as a medium for representation and visibility. Through their work, they create spaces that are more than just gatherings—they’re cultural movements rooted in the traditions of resistance, joy, and collective empowerment.

Mia has partnered with Public Functionary (PF) to curate a five-week series of Meet at Mia programs surrounding our special exhibition “Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys.” Following an opening program on March 20, each week correlates with a theme of the exhibition: Becoming Giants, On the Shoulders of Giants, Giant Conversations, and Giant Presence. Programs include music, film screenings, live performances, tours led by the PF Curatorial Cohort, and more.
