BIPOC Consultant Directory from Nexus <[link removed]>
“Over the years Nexus has fielded many requests about various types of BIPOC* consultants. This database is our response to the many requests, and we hope it is helpful to both consultants and people/organization seeking knowledge and expertise from BIPOC communities. This being said, please note our disclaimer below. Enjoy!
A special thanks to all of the consultants and organizations who helped inform us about this database, former intern Omar Leal for starting this work and to current intern Keliyah Perkins for getting this live.
*NOTE: We use the term BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) to recognize the many identities in the community.”
Another World is Possible: Five Decades of Revolutionary Art with Ricardo Levins Morales <[link removed]>
October 5th - November 22nd
CTUL: Minneapolis
“This exhibit features fifty years of movement history as told through my art. As someone who’s been in the struggle for a few minutes I am very aware of how our collective histories get stolen, erased, distorted or romanticized beyond recognition in ways that make them irrelevant (or even toxic) to today’s rebels. Those movements – like today’s – were mostly youth-led, and my hope is that with this exhibit we can open a space/time portal which young activists from different eras can reach through to touch each others hands, hear each other’s stories, listen to each others fears, and applaud each others victories. We set up times for inter-generational conversations, panels, performances and hands-on activities during the exhibit highlighting art, justice, organizing and collective healing.”
