Burn Something Collective presents RECORD, a public art exhibition now on view at 1010 East Lake Street. This exhibition centers the recordkeeping duties of the body, the rage for the systems that fail us, and the blessing of regenerative imagination. In this work, we are witness to the paradoxical events of summer 2020 in Minneapolis, MN and the relationship between destruction and transformation. Through escapism, defiance, tenderness and revelry, these works live the questions that can at times feel unanswerable. RECORD is an invitation into the archive of the body, be it yours, that of a city, or a world. The pieces presented in this exhibition were forged individually by ten femme, nonbinary, and trans Twin Cities artists from the Black diaspora: Bereket Adamu, Faiza Mohamed, Grover Hogan, Hawwa Youngmark, Janice Essick, Jobi K Adams, Miku, Mariamu Fitch, Olivia Funkhouser-Reynolds, and Simone Alexa.
