2065 2045
2065 2045, is a traveling exhibit made possible by an Artist Initiative Grant through the Minnesota State Arts Board. 2065 2045 is a series of sixteen oil portraits of Minnesota students who represent the projected year our country will become 54% People of Color. The exhibit invites participants to step inside a semi-circular gallery to be embraced by the student’s portraits. The space comes alive with a soundscape of the student’s voices telling their stories. The power of this piece is the combined use of image, place, and sound to facilitate engagement with the present and future demographic.
