From Minneapolis Institute of Art:
Artists have always critiqued and commented on the world around them. Reframe your perspective through a conversation with local content curators, moderated by Za’Nia Coleman, participate in a workshop with a speculative fiction writer, and immerse yourself in sensory reflection with a DJ set by Sarah White.
DJ Sarah White embodies the practice of art as a tool for activism and storytelling. As a DJ, vocalist, and producer, her work transcends genres and mediums, blending music with a deep commitment to social change. Her sets are more than just sonic experiences—they’re narratives of history, resistance, and the rhythms of liberation.
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.
