Minnesota Teaching Artists from African, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or Asian heritages, will develop & deliver community-inspired arts programs that teach an art form with roots in their cultural heritage. Artists will select the Minnesota community where their residency will be delivered, focusing on increasing access to the art form. Over the course of multiple sessions, participants will learn the art form's cultural context, artists from that culture who have influenced it, and create the art form.
Cow Tipping Press works to change narratives on intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD)in practice and in print. This project includes three long-desired initiatives aimed at increasing intersectional access and will provide: 1) one online class open to any Minnesotan with I/DD; 2) one in-person class in the Twin Cities that prioritizes BIPOC students; 3) one online or in-person class serving students in Greater Minnesota. For a total of nine new, responsive classes serving 90 adults from diverse populations in Minnesota's disability communities.
