Art in the City: Galleries Reopen in Minneapolis


I paid a visit to the Walker in mid-February, my first gallery visit in nearly a year. The gallery’s familiar interior and warm lighting brought me right back like an old friend, we picked up where we left off.
The Walker is showing a diverse selection of exhibits presently. The gallery is ready to impress; there’s something for everyone as you wind your way up and across the museum. Futuristic art juxtaposed with antique relics of the old world, pop art, experimental film and all of the colours.

A balance sheet of a year of neoliberal pandemic responses - Global Justice


A balance sheet of a year of neoliberal pandemic responses
A balance sheet of a year of neoliberal pandemic responses
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared that Covid-19 was a global pandemic. A year since, there have been more than 116.5 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 globally, including an almost 2.6 million deaths reported to the WHO. Here in the UK, government figures show that the virus has claimed nearly 125,000 lives. The death toll continues to rise as the virus continues to be unchecked.
The pandemic has exposed massive and multiple weaknesses and failures of the corporate and finance capital-dominated, globalised world we live in. The failures in governance are at the national, regional and global levels. In addition to the obviously vastly difficult nature of the situation, these failings can be attributed to a mixture of incompetence, blind obedience to market-oriented approaches, lack of planning capacity, corruption, and at times sheer negligence and lack of political will.

Penguins took a walk through the Sunken Garden at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory.
The pandemic has caused the lights to been dimmed for months at many of the state s cultural and historical attractions. But since early January, when the Gov. Tim Walz loosened COVID restrictions, some venues have reopened or are in the process of doing so.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Walker Art Center and the American Swedish Institute have recently reopened and the Weisman Art Museum is opening next week. However, the Science Museum of Minnesota and Bell Museum of Natural History are holding out until spring.

Since 2010, through donations of art to museums and other means, the Souls Grown Deep Foundation has advocated tirelessly for the inclusion of the neglected work of Black artists of the rural South in the canon of American art history without, as Elizabeth Pochoda wrote in the pages of this magazine, “the usual diminishing labels of outsider, folk, self-taught, outlier, or whatever.”
