Conference Activities:
Brass Solidarity
Experience a live performance from Brass Solidarity, a collective of musicians, activists, and community members using their sound as a voice for justice. They perform as a sonic occupation to heal, spread joy, inspire hope, and share love while dismantling white supremacy and oppressive constructs. They were birthed from the movement for Black Liberation in George Floyd square, meeting there weekly as a sonic occupation in offering to the community. The music is by the people and for the people as a passionate campaign to celebrate community, educate, and uplift marginalized groups.
Power of the Press: Minnesota Center for Book Arts
Power of the Press is a program of Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) that brings letterpress printing to community centers, libraries, and partner organizations.
Participants are invited to choose a word or short phrase to print based on a theme provided by the hosting organization. Then they compose their words with wood type, ink and print their message on a press, and display their posters. This art experience will be available to attendees throughout the conference.
