Description
Art Prints 4 Mutual Aid is an initiative led by Burn Something Collective (BSC) to uplift BIPOC femme, trans, and gender nonconforming artists by providing a platform to showcase and workshop their work. In an open call for submissions, six artists will be selected to participate in workshops led by BSC members to integrate political education into their creative practices. Final works will be transformed into high-quality, sellable art prints where proceeds will directly benefit local and global mutual aid organizations chosen by each artist, and will also be wheat-pasted in select publicly accessible areas of the Twin Cities. Wheat-pasted works will host a QR code through which viewers can learn more about the artists, this project, and ways to contribute. This initiative bridges art, activism, and creative collaboration to contribute to mutual aid efforts rooted in transnational solidarity while helping to sustain local artists.
